Golden Knights Defeat Jets in Overtime

The Vegas Golden Knights secured a dramatic 3-2 overtime victory against the Winnipeg Jets on December 12, highlighted by Ivan Barbashev's game-winning goal just 3:47 into overtime. Barbashev's goal, his 14th of the season, came after a two-on-one break and a precise pass from Shea Theodore. Despite being outshot in the first period, the Golden Knights rallied back, scoring twice in the third period, including a power-play goal from Victor Olofsson that forced overtime. Adin Hill's solid performance in goal, with 18 saves, pushed his record to 6-0-0 against the Jets. The win marked Vegas' fourth consecutive victory and extended their winning streak against Winnipeg to eight games. Winnipeg's goals came from Josh Morrissey and Nikita Chibrikov, but they struggled against Vegas' persistent offensive efforts and strong defensive play.
