Dallas defeated Las Vegas 2-1 Tuesday night in a close game that relied heavily on defense.
With just three shots on goal each in the first period, the Stars and the Vegas Golden Knights both started off slow. Dallas got a power play chance when Braeden Bowman got called for tripping, but failed to create anything.
The Golden Knights came out with some energy in the second, as Jack Eichel launched a shot past Jake Oettinger and put up the first goal of the night less than two minutes in. They peppered the Stars with a few more quality chances, but Oettinger was able to keep Vegas from adding more points to the board.
