Kirill Kaprizov scored 17 seconds into overtime to thrill the Minnesota crowd in a 4-3 win against the Anaheim Ducks on Friday night.
Kaprizov, the rookie sensation with 27 goals this season, snapped a quick shot that was stopped by Anaheim goalie John Gibson, but drove the net and found the puck on a rebound and easily scored with Gibson unable to recover. The Wild started the day one point behind Colorado for second in the West Division.
Lehner stopped 22 shots to improve to 16-3-2 during the regular season since joining the Golden Knights last season.
Reilly Smith, Alec Martinez, and Nic Roy scored in regulation for Vegas, which won after trailing by two goals for the sixth time this season. The Golden Knights also continued to show a knack for coming back when trailing after two periods, doing so for the sixth time this year.
The Golden Knights also inched closer to winning their third division title in four seasons since joining the NHL in 2017.
“Tonight was a night we were a little flat as a group and they got better as the game went on,” Vegas coach Peter DeBoer said. “That’s what you need to win consistently. Your big guys are going to score, but they can’t score every single night for you.”
