About

The Vegas Golden Knights (32-25-14) earned two points in their 3-2 victory over the Dallas Stars (43-16-11) on Sunday at American Airlines Center.

The Golden Knights opened the scoring early as Brayden McNabb netted his fourth of the season, carrying the puck end-to-end before beating Casey DeSmith. Dallas responded with a power-play goal from Wyatt Johnston and took the lead later in the first on a tally by Justin Hryckowian. Vegas answered in the second period when Ivan Barbashev buried a power-play one-timer off a feed from Brett Howden to even the game at two.

In the third, Reilly Smith delivered the game-winner with under four minutes remaining, capitalizing on a loose puck created by Mitch Marner. Adin Hill secured the win in net with 13 saves, while Barbashev reached the 20-goal mark and Marner recorded his 70th point of the season.
