Summary

  • Seth Jarvis scored a power-play winner 3:36 into overtime as Carolina completed a 4-3 Game 2 comeback after trailing 2-0 deep in the third period.
  • Three goals in the final 9:40 flipped the game: Logan Stankoven started the surge, Mark Jankowski tied it, and Jordan Staal scored on a power play created by Vegas' failed coach's challenge.
  • Carolina's power play, which had struggled throughout the postseason, delivered twice after going 0-for-2 earlier; the Hurricanes also improved to 6-0 in playoff overtime.
  • Brett Howden had put Vegas in control with his 12th and 13th playoff goals, while Mitch Marner added his postseason-leading 23rd point before the Golden Knights let the lead slip.
  • The series now shifts to Las Vegas as a best-of-five, with Vegas also monitoring defenseman Brayden McNabb after he exited in the first period and was reportedly taken to a hospital for observation.
