Max Pacioretty scored 51 seconds
into overtime to give the visiting Vegas Golden Knights a 3-2
victory over the Dallas Stars on Friday night.
Pacioretty took a stretch pass from Shea Theodore at the blue line
and then broke in on a breakaway and beat Ben Bishop with a backhand
shot for his 13th goal of the season.
Chandler Stephenson and William Karlsson also scored for Vegas,
which improved to 5-1 when playing the second half of a back-to-back
this season. Malcolm Subban finished with 28 saves to improve to
5-5-3 on the season.
Jamie Benn and Taylor Fedun scored goals for Dallas, which had a
three-game winning streak snapped. Bishop stopped 29 of the 32 shots
he faced as the Stars lost for just the second time in their last 12
home games.

Dallas, playing its second game under interim coach Rick Bowness
after head coach Jim Montgomery was fired Tuesday morning, took a
1-0 lead in the first period Fedun's second goal of the season.
Fedun, a healthy scratch the six previous games who didn't take part
in warmups and was inserted into the lineup after John Klingberg was
excused for personal reasons, fired a wrist shot from the high slot
that beat Subban on his glove side.
Vegas tied it early in the second period when Karlsson one-timed a
feed from Jonathan Marchessault from the left dot for his 10th goal
of the season.
