Jack Eichel scored 1:57 into overtime to give the visiting Vegas Golden Knights a 2-1 victory over the Dallas Stars on Wednesday night.

Eichel skated down the left side and fanned on his first shot attempt from the faceoff dot but picked the puck back up after it slid by Dallas defenseman Thomas Harley. Eichel then skated around to the right side of the crease where he put a wrist shot under the glove of Jake Oettinger for his eighth goal of the season.

Michael Amadio snapped his 10-game goal drought for Vegas, which ended a two-game losing streak and finished its five-game road trip at 2-2-1. Adin Hill finished with 31 saves as the Golden Knights improved to 6-0-1 against Central Division teams.

Roope Hintz scored for Dallas, which lost for the second time in three games. Oettinger made 24 saves.

Vegas, making its first appearance at American Airlines Center since a 6-0 Game 6 victory clinched the Western Conference title on May 29, took a 1-0 lead at the 10:26 mark of the first period on a power-play goal by Amadio.

Nicolas Roy set up the score with a backhand pass across the slot to Amadio, who was cutting down the right wing and slapped in a shot into the top right corner for his third goal of the season.

Dallas took advantage of a bad line change by the Golden Knights to tie it at 1-1 with 43 seconds left in the second. Joe Pavelski hit Hintz cutting in alone on the left wing and Hintz then fired a shot under Hill's left pad for his eighth goal of the season.

Vegas had a chance to regain the lead with six minutes left to go in the third, but Oettinger came up with a pair of grade-A saves, stopping Paul Cotter's backhand try while cutting in front of the crease and then William Karlsson's point-blank rebound attempt.
