Joe Pavelski Thrills Fans with OT Winner to Power Stars Past Golden Knights

The Stars have some life.

What looked like a dire first couple of periods for Dallas ended in a mountain of ecstasy as it avoided a sweep against the Vegas Golden Knights on their home ice thanks to an overtime winner from Joe Pavelski.

The veteran came up with one of the most clutch moments of his postseason career as the Stars had to climb their way back from a 2-1 deficit in the second period just to force overtime.

When Vegas' Jonathan Marchessault scored midway through the second period to give his team a 2-1 advantage, it looked like the Golden Knights had punched their ticket to the Stanley Cup Final and followed up the Florida Panthers with a sweep.
