Dallas Stars vs Vegas Golden Knights Preview: 3. Let Logan Thompson have all the pucks. Logan Thompson will most likely be the goaltender in net for the Vegas ...

Stars need to rack up their hits count tonight against the Golden Knights. They have some very crafty players that can create shot attempts. If the Stars can get other lines to contribute tonight, might as well book our tickets for Calgary or Colorado. Here are the keys to the game for the Stars if they want to go to the postseason.

We go over how you can all you need to know on Tuesday's NHL matchup between the Vegas Golden Knights and Dallas Stars.

Dallas (44-30-5) can clinch a playoff berth for itself while eliminating the Vancouver Canucks in one swoop with a win in regulation. If the Stars can win in regulation AND Nashville gets at least a point against the Calgary Flames, the final eight in Western Conference will be set. I think both teams will be content with a scoreless game or a 1-1 game through the first 30 minutes. Knowing this Vegas isn’t going to take a ton of chances to generate offense early. Vegas is three points behind Dallas for the second wild card in the Western Conference. Both teams have three games remaining.

Vegas faces a critical game as it hopes to remain in the playoff picture. Plus, a look at the rest of the night's schedule, updated projections and more.

Otherwise, the pick defers to 2023. Playoff position: N/A I think anything higher than a 7 means wholesale changes: firing GM Kelly McCrimmon or trading a chunk of the roster for Carey Price, as was suggested here. I'm a little lower on the panic scale for the Knights due to some mitigating circumstances -- although many of them were of their own creation. To have all that effort and excellence add up to ... nothing? Knowing Dallas, it'll be more of a slugfest for offense. The optics would certainly be rough, given all the moves they've been making. Shilton: Knowing Vegas, it'll be a high-scoring night. He has five goals against Dallas with Vegas. There might be more vital players on the ice for the Knights, but Pacioretty could be a game-breaker. Otherwise, I don't adore the Golden Knights' chances. There are 13 games on the NHL schedule Tuesday night, including five being waged between teams that are currently in playoff position. The Knights are chasing the Stars and the Nashville Predators in the Western wild-card race.

With more eyes than usual trained on Texas tonight, the Stars had their work cut out for them in a Golden Knights team that also had everything to lose. First ...

In a seven round shootout, Rick Bowness had Radek Faksa and Namestnikov shoot before Miro Heiskanen, for reasons that are unclear at this juncture. Thompson took a few minutes to get his feet back under him, but played the rest of overtime and the shootout. Vladislav Namestnikov lost an edge on a breakaway and ran into Thompson, pinching Thompson’s leg between him and the goal post. RM West (@ATTSportsNetRMW) @GoldenKnightsup again with his 21st goal of the season! Unfortunately: Thompson on the other end. Chandler Stephenson puts the— AT&T SportsNet™ Hintz got tripped a few minutes in, but wasn’t given a call. Chandler Stephenson got the go ahead on a power play due to a Glendening penalty. There were four seconds left in the period. Unfortunately, he had Glendening to assist. What made the goal truly frustrating is that it looked like, without intervention, Jake Oettinger would have made the save. Just kidding.

... The Golden Knights had won the first two games against Dallas this season, and are 8-2-1 all time against the Stars. ... There was a scuffle with 2:27 left in regulation after Hintz went by the Vegas net. "We’ve got to find a way to reenergize here and win a game tomorrow.” The Stars center was first pushed by Alec Martinez, but after he was pulled back by 37-year-old Stars center Joe Pavelski, Jack Eichel got face-to-face with Hintz. Eichel and Hintz both got roughing penalties. Robertson had a nifty play skating through the circle for his first goal, then got the Stars even at 2 just over three minutes into the third period. Logan Thompson had 28 saves, with a glove stop of his own when Roope Hintz drove hard and ripped a shot with 3:08 left in overtime. The others were Mike Modano's club-record 50 in 1993-94 and captain Jamie Benn's 41 in 2015-16. The Stars need just a single point over their last two games to get that other wild-card spot. Oettinger had a full-split glove save with 2:37 left in regulation of Shea Theodore's long slap shot. We got the lead, it was up again, had some chances to win the game and we just didn’t finish. They came in and played one hell of a road game. “We’ve still got a pulse.

A regulation win would've clinched a playoff berth for the Stars outright. Arizona or a Vegas loss against Chicago. DALLAS -- In a game that truly went the distance, the Stars pulled off a dramatic 3-2 victory in the seventh round of the shootout to put the Vegas Golden Knights on the brink of elimination in the playoff race in front of a sold-out crowd of 18,532 at American Airlines Center.

The Dallas Stars will have to wait a little while longer to clinch a playoff spot. In beating the Golden Knights 3-2 in a shootout on Tuesday night, ...

The Stars have had big games with the Golden Knights in recent years. He graduated from the University of Notre Dame. With 49 seconds left in the first period, Carrier centered a pass on the rush that banked off of Luke Glendening and into the Stars’ net. I have a really good feeling that that’s going to be the first of many of those type of seasons for him.” In the third period, he slid through the slot and redirected a pass from John Klingberg. Robertson scored twice, becoming just the fourth player in Dallas Stars history to score 40 goals in a season. The Predators hold the tiebreakers with a 35-30 edge in regulation wins. The Stars can secure their spot as soon as Wednesday with a point against Arizona, or a Vegas loss in Chicago.

DALLAS -- You can't ask for much more than what you got from the Stars and Golden Knights at American Airlines Center on Tuesday.

Oettinger was outstanding in the shootout, but let's not forget the glove save he made on Shea Theodore with 2:37 remaining in regulation in a 2-2 game. Oettinger kept his team alive long enough for Heiskanen to score the game-deciding goal in the top of the seventh round. Give the Golden Knights credit - they kept Robertson, Joe Pavelski and Roope Hintz in check for nearly half the game. This was a playoff game just without the playoff tag attached to it. Like in the playoffs, the air inside American Airlines Center was thick with tension. They can also get there if Vegas loses in Chicago, but it'd be nice to see them take care of it themselves.

The Dallas Stars went the distance tonight with the Vegas Golden Knights winning 3-2 in the shootout. With the win, the Stars magic number is now 1 point.

After a short overtime period, we would go to the shootout where games that decide who goes to the playoffs shouldn’t go. They would have a chance though to make the magic number to make the playoffs down to 1. Stars would lead in faceoffs won 18-13 and in the hits category 21-18. After the 1st period, the Stars and the Sharks would be tied in shots on goal at eight shots each. They also had a lot of second-chance rebounds with the puck in front of Logan Thompson. William Carrier would score his ninth goal of the season in the final minute of the period to make it 1-0 Knights. Here is the game recap of what happened at the AAC on Tuesday night.

The Dallas Stars moved closer to clinching a playoff spot with a 3-2 victory Tuesday night over the Vegas Golden Knights.

There was a late scuffle with 2:27 left in regulation after Hintz went by the Vegas net. The others were Mike Modano’s club-record 50 in 1993-94 and captain Jamie Benn’s 41 in 2015-16. Logan Thompson had 28 saves, with a glove stop of his own when Roope Hintz drove hard and ripped a shot with 3:08 left in overtime. Robertson had a nifty play skating through the circle for his first tally, then got the Stars even at 2 just more than three minutes into the third period. Dallas goalie Jake Oettinger stopped 33 shots, including a spread-eagle glove save with 2:37 left in regulation of Shea Theodore’s long slap shot. Vegas has 91 points, but must win its last two games and get some help to make the playoffs again.

We just have to come out with that same intensity, try to take the lead, and try to take that game over. “This time of year, they are playing loose, trying to score goals, and get a job next year.
