Center Roope Hintz scored in a shootout, and the Dallas Stars defeated the Golden Knights, 2-1, Saturday at American Airlines Center.
The Knights still clinched home-ice advantage in at least the first round of the playoffs by getting a point from the game. They forced overtime despite playing without center Jack Eichel, who was out with a lower-body injury. Defenseman Zach Whitecloud was also injured with 9:46 remaining in the third period and didn’t return.
Left wing Joel Kiviranta also scored for the Stars. Center Brett Howden scored for the Knights.
