They've got a good goaltender, so we're just trying to get there, and obviously whatever way it takes to get it there."Miro Heiskanen had three assists, and Bishop made 28 saves for the Stars, who also play the Avalanche on Wednesday and the Blues on Sunday to determine seeding for the Stanley Cup Playoffs."We just got away from our game," Dallas coach Rick Bowness said. Oleksiak made it 2-1 at 8:32, and Perry scored a power-play goal at 12:42 to make it 3-1 with a deflection of Heiskanen's shot.The Golden Knights made it 3-2 at 9:46 of the third period when Mark Stone scored from the slot, and Schmidt tied it 3-3 at 11:15 with a shot from the left circle after Reilly Smith's attempted pass hit Stars defenseman John Klingberg's skate."Obviously you want to protect the lead, but I think going into the third we understood it was a big period, that they'd come out and we'd see their best game," Pavelski said. We got some momentum and we played like we should have played for 60 minutes."Vegas took a 1-0 lead at 1:04 of the first period when Stephenson used Klingberg as a screen and put a shot between Bishop's pads.The seeds will be determined by points in the round-robin, with regular-season points percentage being the tiebreaker.Video: Golden Knights rally in 3rd for Round-Robin win
