Eichel scores the winner for Knights in yet another OT win vs Stars

Jack Eichel scored the winning goal for the Vegas Golden Knights in yet another game against the Dallas Stars that went into overtime this season.

Eichel scored 1:57 into additional time after initially fanning at the puck as the Knights finished their five-game trip with a 2-1 victory Wednesday night, when the reigning Stanley Cup champions returned to Dallas for the first time since wrapping up the Western Conference Final last May.

The curious part is that this was the fourth consecutive regular-season game between Vegas and Dallas not decided in regulation. Vegas won a shootout at home Oct. 17, after the Stars twice won shootouts last season. Plus, three of their six games in the Western Conference Final last May went to overtime.
