The Dallas Stars live to play hockey another day, as Joe Pavelski hammered home the overtime winner on a power play to defeat the Vegas Golden Knights in Game 4, 3-2. 

Facing a potential sweep on home ice, and the third overtime game of this series, the Stars responded just the way the home crowd wanted to see when a power play was awarded to the Stars just a couple minutes in to the overtime period. 

Golden Knights goaltender Adin Hill somehow managed to save a Grade-A chance from Roope Hintz, but the Stars were able to recover the puck in the zone and send it back up top to Miro Heiskanen.

That’s when he slid it over to Pavelski, who rocketed a one-timer past Hill’s left shoulder and the Dallas crowd went ballistic. 

With the goal, Pavelski sent the series back to Vegas for Game 5, where the Golden Knights still have the opportunity to reach the Stanley Cup Finals for the second time in franchise history – their first came in their inaugural season. 

Dallas wouldn’t have been in this position, though, without the game from their young star, Jason Robertson.
