Wyatt Johnston Wins Game 3 in OT! DAL vs VGK Game 3 Reaction: Stars Dominance, New Trios and Series!

The Dallas Stars take down the Vegas Golden Knight in an overtime thriller by a final score of 3-2. Joey reacts to Wyatt Johnston's overtime winner and the Dallas Stars dominance for much of game three. The Stars could not have had a better start, after Miro Heiskanen made it 2-0 in the 2nd period it felt like Dallas was untouchable. However, Logan Thompson for Vegas was incredible and would not allow the Stars to extend their lead. Joey breaks down game three and how the Stars could change the entire series if they can replicate their success in game four. He discusses the new line combinations without Radek Faksa and Mason Marchment, and the defensive play of Ryan Suter, Chris Tanev and others. The Stars and Golden Knights play game four on Monday night.

vegas is a momentum killer, stars need to be careful and work even harder

[@lyleaustin2112]

How good did Craig Smith look last night!? He should have been in the lineup since game 1. Craig gives 100% on every shift.

[@ericdelgado1373]

Agreed! Seems like he had an impact on every shift he had! His hustle is definitely what they needed

[@CA-sl2xw]

He won’t be out again, I’ll bet money on that.

[@treycarmichael3605]

oh hey, stick taps to Sam Steel at 70% on the dot. It was probably just a few faceoffs, but we need that high win rate.

[@freedommakers101]

Stellar performance. With the number of missed breakaway attempts combined with other missed opportunities for goals should have been 10-2

[@shinyuta]

so... not a stellar performance.

[@Realistic316]

i feel like if the Stars comeback and win this series, then that momentum and confidence will take them to the cup

[@benjaminwachold3736]

LFG!! You know VGK is gonna respond in the next game. I hope the whole team is prepared for it especially Jake Oettinger. They can’t make any mistakes and allow them to hang around they’ll make you pay.

[@CJ-ir1qt]

LFG! I've been looking forward to and loving your vids, Joey! They've just been getting better & better. Keep killing it, dawg. Let's go Stars!

[@josephtylerdc9830]

AWESOME GAME..falling asleep to a dallas win. ⭐ lets goooooo

[@loumnar54]

They kept reducing the shots Dallas had as the game proceeded. A joke. They finished with at least 50 shots, not 46. I was pissed and so frustrated after the 2nd period that I could not watch the 3rd. I came back at the end of the OT and witnessed a miracle. Let's hope for another one Monday...

[@Utred2012]

VGK blocks A LOT of shots. Probably stuff that got towards the goal but didn’t quite make it to Thompson before getting blocked right in front of or beside him, if I had to guess.

[@COWBOYZNATION]

That VGK short handed goal should have never happened- That one SUCKED and got the crowd back into this game!! 👎

[@whataboutrob442]

Awesome game! My team is the Rangers, but I don't like Vegas.

[@jefffyock2617]

To all you sleepyheads, Bally is replaying the game Sunday 6:00pm. It will probably be a shortened version.

[@Mark-xl1ze]

Go Stars!

[@treycarmichael3605]

Nils played 2:21 and had 1 shift in the second, none thereafter. This will not work throughout the playoffs. Maybe not even through this series. At least put Pouliot in there. PDB says he trusts Pouliot, so at least get him in there and see how he goes. Doubleshifting Miro and to some extent Tanev, does not seem wise at all. Glad it worked tonight! Line blender landed on some good solutions. Craig Smith was a beast tonight. Keep him in the lineup. Delly looked good too.

[@CA-sl2xw]

What is wrong with Hawk? We need him back bad.

[@TimFarmer-zv9lh]

I hope we ate into Logan Thompson’s confidence because that was a nasty shot by Wyatt. Short side top cheese from a bad angle. We continue to see him go big in the playoffs and this season! Go stars!

[@burnedoils]

from one goal away (we aint were gonna win that series if it went to 3-0 after all of this) to making this a 2-1 series! what a brutaly awsome turn of event

[@Utred2012]

4:06 Wait, VGK got 12 chances in the first 40 minutes? I honestly would have expected that number to be lower.

[@JaceStagg]

Dallas had to play their best game of the year against VGK who didn’t play anywhere near their potential (except Thompson) and they still barely won in OT. VGK is gonna respond.

[@vincentlawrencer]

Holy crap, is that Jace from Hitting On Hannah!? Dude’s a legend.

[@MichaelJW72]

The goalie was the reason VGK was in this game. Aim high, or 5.

[@JaceStagg]

@@vincentlawrencer no Vincent…. YOU and your brother are the true legends.

[@JC-pq4ul]

Logan Thompson was a beast but Stars should take notice. Besides "top shelf" like Wyatt did so masterfully, on those one on ones, especially looking back on Seguin's first one on one, he is very susceptible to a "5 hole" shot. Benn did it in an earlier game and it's wide open when he commits one way or the other. Johnston was a beast too at only 20 years old. LOL when the coach said he can't even play cards in the Casino! Go Stars!

[@rickygarza87]

Man they needed that win big time

[@CA-sl2xw]

We can’t do this playing only five D. What kind of injury does “hawk” have? Anyone?

[@Mark-xl1ze]

Knights fans are funny here. If Thompson didn't have an all-world performance, the Stars would have won in a blowout. I don't expect Thompson to play that well again in this series. The Stars need to repeat what they did in Game 3 by using their speed, swarming any Knights player who has the puck and they should win Game 4.

[@counthackula1704]

Go stars

[@COWBOYZNATION]

I think we beat the VGK's goalie thru the air. Meaning more scoring chances "off the ice". Flip the puck up on him more, over the shoulder goals, etc, etc. GO STARS!!!

[@ericdelgado1373]

Even the commentators mentioned that. Every time they went low it was always saved. All 3 goals came from high shots seems to be the key hopefully they noticed it

[@COWBOYZNATION]

@@ericdelgado1373 Interesting. I missed that comment somehow. I hated one in game commentator couldn't pronounce "JohnsTon" name correctly, for pretty much the entire game and overtime!!

[@hayden454]

Seems Thomson 5 hole his weakest part need to focus more shots towards that spot… suter good when he doesn’t have to be a #1 just need add someone play with him on the 3rd paring as a shut down/eat some minutes for other d pairs

[@freedommakers101]

Oettinger should have been sharper like he was against the Flames in the previous playoff run. He needs to help out more. Remember the piles of saves he made against Calgary? Circus saves. That's how he needs to play.

[@zrichards907]

Both Goalies last night were the reason Vegas was even in the game Thompson played amazing and Otter let in two softies

[@freedommakers101]

@@zrichards907 yes I agree

[@Finis08]

I would rather have Dadonov not play before I put him back on the 4th line. He just doesn't fit with that line. He doesn't have the pace or the physicality to fit there. He fits much better on the 2nd or 3rd lines from a style of play prospective.

[@LKM0235]

Vegas played like garbage for two periods, dallas played full A plus game and VGK still took the stars to OT. Garbage goaltending, none of stars players couldn't finish their chances. That doesn't concern you at all?

[@seiver1088]

The VGK goaltender played out his mind. Yes the goaltending with Otter is concerning but if the Stars keep playing like that, I don't think Thompson can keep that up

[@POSS99]

​@@seiver1088wishiful thinking. That'll only happen if vegas continue to play like trash.

[@seiver1088]

@ifwgs 2/3 games Stars dominated the VGK. Vegas GT stole a win. Stars played like trash in game 1 and yet held the VGK to 15 shots. The Stars have been the better team. Need a bit more from Otter and more execution from the boys infront of him. Again I doubt Thompson can keep that performance up if the Stars keep coming in waves

[@maxsteigauf8179]

So the stars A+ game is one with "garbage goaltending, none of the stars players couldn't finish their chances" doesn't sound like an A+ game

[@willchavez1368]

​@@maxsteigauf8179Peak veags vs peak dallas, vegas wins.The stars did nothing special, it was the opposition that played extremely poorly. And I couldn't believe a team that has eight 20 goal scorers couldn't finish all those chances. The knights gave up like 5 odd man rushes none of dallas players capitalized them. This game should've been 8-2, instead dallas barely escaped with a fluke sharp angle goal.

[@Utred2012]

As a VGK fan, the skaters didn’t show up for half of this game and they still almost won. Logan Thompson was an absolute brick wall. All the credit in the world to Johnston for that sharp angle shot that finally went in, but I would very much hope that the VGK skaters will actually show up on Monday. And yes, I know that Dallas was more desperate in game 3 than VGK (and for very understandable reasons).
