For the third time in four games in the Western Conference final, the Dallas Stars and Vegas Golden Knights required overtime. Breaking away from the NHL’s other conference final, the Stars avoided a sweep by beating the Golden Knights 3-2 to shift the series back to Vegas trailing 3-1.
Joe Pavelski scored the OT game-winner for the Stars, who kept fighting after trailing 1-0 and 2-1 in Game 4. After Dallas created other dangerous looks on an overtime power play, Miro Heiskanen set up Pavelski for an emphatic goal to keep the Stars’ Stanley Cup dreams alive.
