The GIST: All four Conference Finals games have gone to overtime (OT), and with two squads taking early 2-0 leads, it’s brought some serious tension. Drake wasn’t lying about OT.

Western Conference Final: Thanks to forward Chandler Stephenson’s OT game-winner, the Vegas Golden Knights successfully defended their home fortress yesterday, topping the Dallas Stars 3–2.

  • Lucky for Dallas, this series will shift to the Lone Star State tomorrow at 8 p.m. ET.

Eastern Conference Final: Speaking of a lone star, the wild card Florida Panthers’ newfound OT hero Matthew Tkachuk (pronounced kuh-CHUCK) came in clutch yet again during Saturday’s 2–1 OT win over the Carolina Hurricanes.

  • Now the Panthers will look to pounce on home-ice advantage when the marathon continues with Game 3 tonight at 8 p.m. ET.
