Golden Knights get 2OT win after squandering three-goal lead in third period

The Vegas Golden Knights let a three-goal lead slip in the third period, but they were the team that found the back of the net in the second overtime.

Michael Amadio scored at 3:40 of the second overtime Saturday to give the Vegas Golden Knights a 5-4 victory over the Winnipeg Jets and a 2-1 lead in the first-round series.

Dylan Samberg's clearing attempt for Winnipeg from the back boards deflected off Vegas forward Ivan Barbashev's skate to Amadio for a one-timer that went into the top right corner of the net between goalie Connor Hellebuyck's head and glove.

Adam Lowry tied it for Winnipeg with 21.9 seconds left in regulation, beating goalie Laurent Brossoit of a rebound to cap a three-goal, third-period comeback.

Kyle Connor had a goal and an assist for Winnipeg, and Connor Hellebuyck stopped 43 shots.

RECORD-BREAKING BRUINS EARN HUGE GAME 3 WIN OVER PANTHERS TO TAKE SERIES LEAD

Winnipeg All-Star defenseman Josh Morrissey left four minutes into the first period with a lower-body injury. Morrissey collided knee-on-knee with Vegas defenseman Zach Whitecloud and appeared to be favoring his right knee.
