In a thrilling matchup, the Vegas Golden Knights triumphed over the Dallas Stars 3-2, marking a significant win as captain Mark Stone returned from injury. The Golden Knights capitalized on power plays, with Tomas Hertl and Jack Eichel both scoring while Adin Hill shone in goal with 37 saves.

Despite the Stars' efforts, including goals from Mavrik Bourque and Mason Marchment, they struggled with penalties that hampered their performance. This victory avenges last season's playoff loss to Dallas.
