DALLAS — Vegas captain Mark Stone scored quickly after missing two months, Tomas Hertl had a nifty goal in his playoff debut for the Golden Knights and the reigning Stanley Cup champions opened defence of their title with a 4-3 win over the top-seeded Dallas Stars on Monday night.
Logan Thompson got the start in net for Vegas, stopping 27 shots in his post-season debut after coach Bruce Cassidy went with him over fellow 27-year-old goalie Adin Hill, who had a 1.99 goals-against-average and two shutouts against the Stars in the West final last year. The two had split starts down the stretch, though Hill had struggled much of this season with injuries and inconsistent play.
Marchessault's tally came only about a minute after the Stars thought they had tied the game on a goal by Ryan Suter, whose 1,444 regular-season games without a Stanley Cup are the most by any active player. But Suter's goal was taken off the board because of an offside call against Mason Marchment after a coach’s challenge and an official replay.
