Carter Verhaeghe scored the overtime winner for the Florida Panthers, defeating the Vegas Golden Knights 3-2 in Game 3.
Verhaeghe fired a wrist shot through traffic, beating Golden Knights goaltender Adin Hill four minutes and 27 seconds into the extra frame.
Panthers superstar Matthew Tkachuk scored the game-tying goal with two minutes and 13 seconds remaining in the third period. Verhaeghe wired a slap shot from the top of the circle and the rebound trickled on Tkachuk’s stick, who made no mistake from in-close with Hill out of position. Tkachuk missed a large segment of the first period after taking a shoulder-to-shoulder hit from Golden Knights forward Keegan Kolesar.
Brandon Montour opened the scoring, notching his seventh goal of the postseason, his first since the opening game of his team’s second-round series against the Toronto Maple Leafs. Montour roofed a wrist shot through traffic over the shoulder of Golden Knights goaltender Adin Hill for the 1-0 lead, but it was short-lived.
Golden Knights captain Mark Stone tied the game late in the first period on the man advantage. Stone stood alone in front of the net as the Panthers used a triangle penalty kill defense and he deflected a Jonathan Marchessault shot from the point cleanly for his team’s first goal. Stone, who was the hero in Game 1, drew a secondary assist on Marchessault’s goal.
Marchessault scored for the fourth consecutive game, receiving a beautiful saucer pass from Jack Eichel and deposited it past Panthers goaltender Sergei Bobrovsky with just over five minutes remaining in the second period Game 4 resumes Saturday where the Panthers look to tie the series on home ice.

Daniel Weinman won the World Series of Poker's main event world championship on Monday in Las Vegas, earning $12.1 million along the way. Playing in the tournament for a 16th year, Weinman was tops in a deep pool of 10,043 players vying for $93.39 million. His victory came after just 164 hands at the final table. "I was honestly on the fence about even coming back and playing this tournament," the 35-year-old Atlanta native told reporters afterward. Weinman's final table featured Jan-Peter Jachtmann, who landed in fourth place and took home $3 million, as well as Toby Lewis, who finished seventh and secured $1.42 million. According to the Las Vegas Review-Journal, the main event's entry pool far outpaced the previous record of 8,773 set in 2006. "I've always kind of felt that poker was kind of going in a dying direction, but to see the numbers at the World Series this year has been incredible," Weinman said. "And to win this main event, it doesn't feel real. I mean, [there's] so much luck in a poker tournament. I thought I played very well." Steven Jones finished second, securing $6.5 million. And Adam Walton settled for third and a $4 million prize.
