NHL playoffs: Golden Knights blow late lead, recover to beat Stars in OT in Game 1

After seeing quadruple overtime on Thursday (and into Friday) in Game 1 the Eastern Conference final, the Dallas Stars and Vegas Golden Knights didn’t want to leave NHL fans feeling ripped off as they opened their series. That said, the Golden Knights mercifully ended Game 1 early in the first overtime, prevailing 4-3 on Friday to take a 1-0 series lead.

Chandler Stephenson and Mark Stone made plenty of plays, then Brett Howden banked the puck off a sprawling Jake Oettinger to score the overtime winner.
