Golden Knights overcome overturned overtime goal to beat Mammoth in OT
The Vegas Golden Knights thought they won in overtime, but the goal was wiped out on an offsides call. They celebrated for real later.
The Vegas Golden Knights missed out when an apparent overtime goal that was waved off for offsides. But they pushed through and eventually scored a goal that counted to tie their first-round playoff series against the Utah Mammoth at two games apiece. Shea Theodore got the official goal at 19:08 of the first overtime to give the Golden Knights a 5-4 victory in a game in which they blew a 3-0 lead but tied the game 4-4.
The Golden Knights took advantage of Utah goalie Karel Vejmelka losing his stick on the winning goal. Though a teammate tried to get the stick back to him, the goalie wasn't able to grab it and Theodore blasted the puck past him at 19:08 into the first overtime. OH NO Cole knocks away Vejmelka's stick and then Theodore rips it home š±šØ VEGAS TIES UP THE SERIES!!!!

It was determined after a long review that Jack Eichel entered the zone ahead of the puck and the goal was wiped out. VEGAS SCORED THE OT WINNER BUT AFTER A REVIEW... OFFSIDE, NO GOAL š āāļøš« WE PLAY ON!
