The Vegas Golden Knights needed a win on Saturday night, and they got it in one of the most incredible and unexpected ways. Reilly Smith's buzzer-beating goal with 0.4 seconds to play in the third period lifted Vegas to a 4-3 win, getting them on the board in their second-round series against the Edmonton Oilers.
Edmonton still leads the series, 2-1, but this is the type of game that could be a huge momentum shifter.
Here is a look at Smith's goal as it deflected in off the stick of Edmonton's Leon Draisaitl.
