Exciting Development: Stars Reinvigorate Series Against Golden Knights Ahead of Game 4!
LAS VEGAS (AP) – In the realm of NBA playoffs, it’s often said that a series truly kicks off when the visiting team secures a win. However, in the ongoing first-round playoff clash between Vegas and Dallas in the NHL, the narrative might shift to waiting for a home team victory to ignite the series.
After the defending champions, the Golden Knights, asserted their dominance by clinching the first two games in Dallas, the Stars retaliated with a thrilling 3-2 overtime triumph on Saturday night in Las Vegas.
The Stars’ resurgence hints at a potential shift in momentum as they head into Game 4 on Monday night in Las Vegas (9:30 p.m. EDT/ESPN). Despite the narrow margin, Dallas exhibited a commanding performance, amassing 27 high-danger chances compared to the Knights’ four. Were it not for the outstanding 43 saves by Vegas goalie Logan Thompson, the Stars might have sealed the victory well before regulation time elapsed.
“It’s not just about winning; it’s equally important how you win,” remarked Stars coach Pete DeBoer. “I believe we’ve been building towards this performance, glimpses of which we saw in Game 1 and more prominently in Game 2. We displayed a complete effort. Admittedly, Vegas was off their game, which worked in our favor. However, we anticipate adjustments from them. Nevertheless, we’re grasping the style of play required for success in this series.”
Both teams utilized Sunday for rest and recuperation, with the Stars opting out of practice and the Knights holding a lightly attended optional workout.
