Chandler Stephenson scored the game-winning goal 1:12 into overtime to lift VGK to its second OT win in as many games as the WCF now shifts to Dallas for Games 3 and 4. Stephenson earlier in the game had a couple of penalties that could have cost VGK. The first one was a slash, the second came at the end of the second period as the Golden Knights were trying to push to tie up the game. He committed a cross-checking penalty on the Stars Miro Heiskanen. It was another retaliatory penalty for VGK out of a veteran player in the post-season. And it apparently deflated VGK for a while, even after they killed off the penalty. The Golden Knights were lifeless for most of the second and into the latter stages of the third period. With just 2:22 remaining, and VGK about to pull goalie Adin Hill, the Stars Ryan Suter turned over the puck and put it onto the stick of Jack Eichel. Jackie Aces sent a backhanded dime into the slot and Jonathan Marchessault scored the equalizer. Then early into the OT period, the Stars were in a line change, they turned the puck over and VGK moved quickly. Shea Theodore put a shot on net and a rebound came to Stephenson, who scored the game-winner. VGK now has a lot of momentum heading into Dallas, leading the series 2-0. VGK pulled out a 3-2 win on Sunday. Mark Stone scored a goal in an early in the first period on a 5-on-3 advantage. Miro Heiskanen and Jason Robertson had goals for the Stars. This is episode #600 for Locked on VGK!
