Another overtime game resulted in another heartbreaking loss for the Dallas Stars.
For the fourth time this postseason, a conference finals game found itself in overtime Sunday. While Dallas held a 2-1 lead going into the final minutes of regulation, Jonathan Marchessault stepped up for Vegas to tie the game up with 2:22 on the clock.
The Golden Knights then came away with another victory after Chandler Stephenson scored 1:12 into overtime, putting the Stars in a 2-0 hole as the series moves to American Airlines Center. Here are some of the national reactions to Game 2 between the Stars and Golden Knights:

Chandler Stephenson said the puck he scored the overtime winner with will be a present for his son, whose birthday is tomorrow.
“It’ll probably go in his room.”

Overtime struggles aren’t a new thing for the Stars. They were 8-14 in OT during the regular season. Now they’re 0-4 in the playoffs and 0-2 this series.
