Jake Sanderson rifled home the game-winner late into the first OT frame and Linus Ullmark put up a dominant showing with 32 saves as the Ottawa Senators avoided a first-round sweep, defeating the Toronto Maple Leafs 4-3.
Ivan Barbashev scored the overtime winner as the Vegas Golden Knights grabbed hold of Game 4 by a score of 4-3 against the Minnesota Wild to steady the series score at 2-2.
It’s a best-of-three from here, and thanks to head coach Bruce Cassidy’s lineup changes on Saturday, it’s safe to say we could be seeing a different Vegas team hit the ice going forward.
After a season that required significant line-shuffling while navigating injuries up and down the lineup, Vegas head coach Bruce Cassidy was taking a patient approach in the Golden Knights’ first-round series against the Wild.
Through three games of the series, his top line of Barbashev, Jack Eichel, and Mark Stone had been quiet, held without a single point.
Down 2-1 in the series heading into Saturday’s Game 4, Cassidy opened up the matchup in Minnesota with that same top trio intact, and while Barbashev and Eichel each finally got on the stat sheet when they assisted on Shea Theodore’s game-opening power-play goal in the first period, it was clear once Minnesota took the lead in the second — and outworked Vegas up to that point, too, picking their pockets in the neutral zone and generally applying stifling pressure at every opportunity — that something needed to change.
