If the first two games of the Western Conference final are any indication, the margin between winning and losing is as thin as an ice skate’s blade.
Take the 72 seconds of overtime in Vegas’ 3-2 win over the Dallas Stars in Game 2.
The Golden Knights had the last laugh, but it was Dallas that actually had the first chance to win.
Johnston’s shot had an expected goal rating of 0.14, according to Natural Stat.
Vegas had an odd-man rush on that goal because they took advantage of a Dallas line change just seconds before.
Dallas had done a great job clearing pucks around the net all game, but in that instance, Stephenson was alone.
“Definitely in overtime for sure,” Stars head coach Pete DeBoer said when asked if his line changes have not been as smooth in this series.
“Borderline change, but it’s a game of mistakes.
They make a mistake and leave Johnston wide open in front of the net, too, they just stuck it in.”
