Jack Eichel (Boston University) made his first point of the Western Conference semifinals a major one.
His behind-the-back pass to Jonathan Marchessault for the tying goal with 2:22 remaining in regulation set the stage for Chandler Stephenson's goal just over a minute into overtime that gave Vegas a two games-to-none lead over the visiting Dallas Stars on Sunday in their best-of-seven Stanley Cup Playoff series. Game Three is slated for Tuesday evening in Texas.
Eichel is now tied for sixth among NHL skaters with six goals and nine assists for 15 points in 13 NHL playoff games so far this spring, the first postseason games of his professional career. Ryan Suter (Wisconsin) assisted on both of Dallas' goals on Sunday, and currently has five assists/points in 15 postseason games to date this year, along with 6-33—39 points in 110 career NHL playoff outings dating back to 2007.
