The Vegas Golden Knights overcame a two-goal deficit and defeated the Winnipeg Jets, 4-3, in overtime on Tuesday evening at Canada Life Centre. Brett Howden’s third period goal evened the score at two, and Reilly Smith’s equalizer with under five minutes remaining sent the game to overtime. Tomas Hertl collected the game-winning tally with 13 seconds left in the extra frame to lift the Golden Knights to victory and hand the Jets their 10th straight loss. Vegas had just a 9% implied probability to win before Smith’s game-tying goal late in the third period.
