Ivan Barbashev chipped in a rebound at the 17:26 mark of overtime to give the Vegas Golden Knights a 4-3 victory over the Minnesota Wild in Game 4 of their Western Conference first-round series Saturday afternoon in Saint Paul, Minnesota.
Reilly Smith set up the game winner, picking up a loose puck after Jake Middleton whiffed trying to clear the puck from his own zone. Smith then fired the puck toward the net where Barbashev put in the rebound of a Nicolas Roy rebound try for the first playoff overtime winner of his career.
The series is now tied 2-2 with Game 5 set for Tuesday night in Las Vegas.
Tomas Hertl and Roy joined Barbashev with a goal and an assist. Defenseman Shea Theodore also scored for Vegas while Adin Hill made 29 saves.
Marcus Foligno scored for the third consecutive game and Marco Rossi and Jared Spurgeon also scored for Minnesota. Filip Gustavsson finished with 42 saves.
