Game Recaps
- Dallas Stars v. Vegas Golden Knights – 830p ET – Game 1
- In Vegas the Golden Knights would look to make it back to the Stanley Cup Final as they host the Dallas Stars in a rematch of the 2020 Western Conference Final, and in the first period Jason Robertson would strike to give the Stars the 1-0 lead. In the second period William Karlsson would score to tie the game at one for the Knights. Then in the third period Karlsson would net his second of the game and Teddy Blueger would score for the Knights, but goals from Roope Hintz and Jamie Benn would tie the game at three for the Stars to force overtime. However, unlike Thursday night in Carolina, Brett Howden would score 95 seconds into overtime to give the Golden Knights the 4-3 victory over the Stars for the 1-0 series lead.
