Defending Cup champion Vegas goes with Thompson in net for Game 1 in Dallas; Stone scores in return

Logan Thompson made his postseason debut in net for the defending Stanley Cup champion Vegas Golden Knights in Game 1 of their opening-round series against the Dallas Stars on Monday night. Coach Bruce Cassidy went with the 27-year-old Thompson over Adin Hill, who had a 1.99 goals-against-average and two shutouts when Vegas beat the Stars in a six-game Western Conference Final last year. Knights captain Mark Stone also played in the series opener after missing 26 games since he lacerated his spleen on Feb. 20.
