Some puck luck finally went the Vegas Golden Knights' way and they avoided getting pushed to the brink of elimination. Ivan Barbashev scored at 17:26 of overtime and the Golden Knights beat the Minnesota Wild 4-3 in Game 4 on Saturday to even their first-round playoff series.

The ending was abrupt, like the cable going out during a movie’s pivotal scene. The lump-in-your-throat nervousness that filled Xcel Energy Center for three-plus hours Saturday afternoon gave way to stunned silence.

After Sunday's overtime heartbreaker, the Wild will look to get back on track in their first-round Western Conference playoff series against the Vegas Golden Knights in Game 5, which is now scheduled for an 8:30 p.m. CT puck drop on Tuesday in Vegas.
