Golden Knights tie it late, defeat Stars in OT

DALLAS -- Evgenii Dadonov scored 1:59 into overtime to give the Vegas Golden Knights a 3-2 win against the Dallas Stars at American Airlines Center on Wednesday.

Jonathan Marchessault tied the game 2-2 with 1:02 remaining in the third period on a slap shot from the left face-off circle.
"I think over a long season, you have to win all kinds of different ways," Vegas coach Peter DeBoer said. "You're going to show up tired, you're going to show up off your game. You've got to get hot in different areas. Tonight, it was goaltending, and we hung around and found a way at the end."
Laurent Brossoit made 32 saves in his first start for the Golden Knights (3-4-0), who won 3-1 at the Colorado Avalanche on Tuesday. Shea Theodore had a goal and an assist.
"I thought our guys did a great job of weathering the storm the first period," Brossoit said. "Getting the plane legs, the travel legs, out of us and making smart choices. Chipping pucks out, as cliché as that sounds."

Anton Khudobin made 18 saves for the Stars (3-3-1).
"That's probably the best game we've played," Dallas coach Rick Bowness said. "We created the most offense. The goalie made some incredible saves, we hit a couple posts, and that's the story."
Luke Glendening gave the Stars a 1-0 lead at 2:20 of the first period when he deflected a Miro Heiskanen shot.
"I think it started with the work ethic," Glendening said. "We were working hard, getting pucks in their end, and we had a shoot-first mentality. Created some chaos and it worked out for us."
Theodore tied it 1-1 at 3:46 of the first after intercepting a Heiskanen outlet pass.
"I thought their forecheck in the first and the second period was amazing," Marchessault said. "We were having a hard time getting out of their zone."

Alexander Radulov scored his first goal of the season to give Dallas a 2-1 lead at 6:56 of the second period on a tipped point shot from Jani Hakanpaa.
"We've just got to keep playing the same way like we played the first two periods and we'll be fine," Radulov said. "Just work, that's the No. 1 thing."
NOTES:Golden Knights forward William Carrier left the game at 5:02 of the second period after he blocked a Denis Gurianov one-timer from the point. "He's going to go back and get some tests and we'll see," DeBoer said. … Vegas forward Mattias Janmark was scratched after sustaining an upper-body injury Tuesday. … Heiskanen has scored seven points in seven games (two goals, five assists). … Jason Robertson made his season debut for the Stars and had two shots on goal in 16:30 of ice time.
