Late too many men on the ice penalty sinks Stars' comeback attempt: 'It's one of those things that shouldn't happen'

LAS VEGAS -- The Stars still had a chance late in an eventual 4-2 loss to the Golden Knights, trailing by one goal and the opportunity to pull goaltender Ben Bishop for an extra attacker. But then it got squashed.

The Stars made a sloppy change in which Martin Hanzal jumped on the ice while Bishop was still in his net, resulting in a too many men on the ice penalty and eliminating any chance of a Dallas comeback. Vegas forward Reilly Smith scored an empty-net goal to seal the victory.

The Stars chipped the puck deep into the Golden Knights zone when Hanzal came on the ice, zooming into the offensive zone.
