Seth Jarvis scored a power-play goal at 3:56 of overtime, lifting the Carolina Hurricanes to a 4-3 comeback win against the Vegas Golden Knights in Game 2 of the Stanley Cup Final on Thursday in Raleigh, N.C.
The best-of-seven series is tied 1-1 heading to Game 3 on Saturday in Las Vegas.
Less than a minute after Vegas forward Tomas Hertl was called for tripping in the extra session, Jarvis scored with a one-timer from the left faceoff circle.
Logan Stankoven, Mark Jankowski and Jordan Staal netted three consecutive goals in the second half of the third period to give Carolina a brief lead. Shayne Gostisbehere logged two assists while Frederik Andersen made 23 saves for the Hurricanes.
Brett Howden produced two more goals, Mark Stone scored during 6-on-5 play with 1:21 left in the third period to force overtime, and Carter Hart finished with 22 saves for the Golden Knights, who had won seven straight playoff games. Vegas' Mitch Marner notched two assists.
With Hart lifted for an extra skater, Andersen made a save on a shot from the high slot by Marner, but Stone was in position to sweep the rebound into the net with a backhand to tie it 3-3.
The Hurricanes had taken a 3-2 lead with 4:35 remaining in regulation after Vegas coach John Tortorella challenged that goalie interference by his team did not cause the puck to cross the Carolina goal line during a scramble in front of the crease with five minutes left.
The play was upheld after a video review, putting the Hurricanes on the power play for delay of game, and Staal scored on a deflection on the ensuing man advantage.
Howden opened the scoring at 13:33 of the first period.
Vegas was getting outshot 6-1 when Marner used his backhand to flip the puck high out of his zone. Howden skated under it and held off Carolina defenseman Sean Walker before shooting it under Andersen's glove.
The Hurricanes outshot the Golden Knights 8-2 in the opening period.
Carolina had just killed Vegas' second power play of the game when Howden scored again for a 2-0 lead at 7:23 of the second period.
Ivan Barbashev fed Howden coming through the neutral zone with speed. Howden again used his strength and body positioning to hold off Carolina defenseman Jaccob Slavin before sliding the puck around Andersen and into the net.
Howden has 13 goals in 18 games during this year's postseason, one more than he scored in 58 regular-season games.
Stankoven cut the margin to 2-1 at 10:20 of the third period.
He stole the puck from Rasmus Andersson behind the Vegas net and then banked it off Vegas' Jeremy Lauzon with a backhand, causing it to be redirected between Hart's pads.
That brought life to the crowd, and Jankowski tied it 2:26 later on another play that began with a long clearance through the air that William Carrier managed to nudge over to Jankowski as he was falling to the ice. Jankowski skated in and scored with a wrist shot from just above the left hashmarks to tie it 2-2.
Vegas defenseman Brayden McNabb did not return after he was hit in the face with a slap shot from Carolina forward Nikolaj Ehlers at 10:52 of the first period. McNabb was transported to a hospital for observation, ESPN reported.
