Highlights from Yesterday

The away team in the 2023 playoffs thus far has gone 43-27-7, winning 56% of all games

  • Chandler Stephenson scored the game winner in overtime for his T-1st 3rd game winning goal of the playoffs, along with an assist in the first period
    • Jonathan Marchessault and Mark Stone also had a goal and an assist each, Stone now leading the team, tied with Jack Eichel, with 15 points in the playoffs (6G/9A)
    • Marchessault leads the team in the playoffs with 13.6 SOG/60, averaging 17.4 minutes/game
  • Miro Heiskanen played 28.3 minutes last night, his 57th time this season playing 25 minutes or more, just 2nd to Drew Doughty, and is Heiskanen's 13th time in the playoffs (league-leading)

Dallas Producing Chances to Score

The Stars outshot the Golden Knights in Round 2 and top players like Tyler Seguin and Wyatt Johnston have increased their shooting rates when on the ice, leading the series in SOG/60. But back to back overtimes have shown that Vegas and Adin Hill can hold off Dallas until sudden death overtimes.
