Stanley Cup Final: Carter Verhaeghe's OT winner secures Panthers' comeback Game 3 win

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.
