We have a series on our hands between these two teams. The Utah Mammoth and Vegas Golden Knights head back to the desert tied 2-2 in the series. Vegas won Game 4 in thrilling fashion with a goal with less than a minute left in overtime.
It was an absolute roller coaster in Game 4. The Knights got started right away with a goal one minute in by Pavel Dorofeyev. With less than a minute and a half left, the Knights Brett Howden scored a shorthanded goal to make it 2-0.
A few minutes in the second period, the Knights struck again with a goal by Cole Smith. After thirty-two minutes of hockey, the Mammoth finally got on the board. They then proceeded to score AGAIN just thirty seconds later making it a 3-2 game.
The third period was wild as well. Utah tied the game within two minutes off s goal from Michael Carcone. A few minutes later, Clayton Keller gave the Mammoth their first lead of the game. With less than half the period left, Vegas' Howden got his second goal of them game and tied it at 4 apiece.
During overtime, there was an overturned goal on the Knights. Didn't matter though because in the last minute of the overtime, defenseman Shea Theodore sealed the deal. It was an absolutely electric game and can't wait for Game 5.

It was an absolute barn burner last game, and I think we see a more reserved game tonight. Both teams have solid defenses and will make adjustments. I also find that sometimes when teams score a lot one game, they dial back the next.
Vegas is really going to want this game. They're definitely kicking themselves for giving up one of their first two home games or this series could've been possibly ending tonight. I do lean with the Knights to win this game back in front of the home crowd. T-Mobile Arena will be going insane.
I also think that the Knights are just the better team here. They have the playoff experience and should be able to lock in to get this big win. Vegas put up a ton of shots in regulation last game and I'm looking for the same. Makes me like Vejmelka over his saves line.
Give me Pavel Dorofeyev to get 3 or more shots on goal. He has been one of the more consistent players on the Knights and can be a very dangerous threat on offense. He scored last game and I could see him doing it again at home tonight,
