HOW IT WENT DOWN
Vegas wasted little time getting on the board as Teddy Blueger set up Keegan Kolesar for the first goal of the game just 27 seconds in. Four minutes later, Brayden Point scored his 40th goal of the season to tie the game at 1-1. After a scoreless middle frame, William Karlsson potted a shorthanded goal to give Vegas a 2-1 lead early in the third period. Chandler Stephenson added to the advantage as he deflected a Shea Theodore shot past Andrei Vasilevskiy for a power-play goal. Nikita Kucherov scored with 2:07 to go and Point scored with less than 30 seconds to play to get the game to overtime. Three minutes into the extra session, Jack Eichel fired a shot that leaked through Vasilevskiy and Martinez knocked the loose puck home to lift Vegas to the 4-3 overtime victory.
