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.

Foligno’s third goal of the series, early in the middle frame, gave the Wild the lead when he popped in the rebound after Hill stopped a Ryan Hartman shot from the hashmarks. With the assist, Hartman became the second player in Wild franchise history to record a helper in each of the first four games of a playoff series.
