Dallas Evens Up The Series at 2-2

“It’s not surprising to anyone in this room (to come back from down 0-2 in the series),” Oettinger said. “We felt good about our game in Dallas, it just didn’t go the way we wanted to. Series go a million different ways. It’s not always how you draw it up. Teams have back from down 3-0, 3-1. It’s not over unless you give up. No one in here is giving up.”

Vegas seized control in the second period when Jack Eichel scored on a put back to give the Golden Knights a 2-1 lead. But unfortunately the Golden Knights, they would give up two goals in the second period and would trail the Stars 3-2 going into the third period. Roope Hintz would score on a empty net goal to add on at 4-2. Logan Thompson had a tough night but finished with 28 saves for the Golden Knights.

“We lost the momentum a little bit in second period. They got their power-play goal, and after that they generated another power play,” Marchessault said. “They were able to get a goal in the last two minutes. So, I think that’s an unfortunate bounce. But I mean, it’s momentum swings in the playoffs, and I don’t think we managed that well today.”
