Goalie Robin Lehner gets start, helps Vegas Golden Knights beat Montreal Canadiens to tie series

The Vegas Golden Knights tried another goaltender on Sunday night, and this time it paid off.

Robin Lehner, who was shelled 7-1 by a rested Colorado Avalanche team the last time he was in net on May 31, was brilliant in Game 4 as Vegas defeated the Canadiens 2-1 in overtime in Montreal to tie the best-of-seven Stanley Cup semifinal at two games each.

Lehner said he showed up at the arena about four hours early Sunday and read the negative comments on Twitter about the decision to start him instead of Marc-Andre Fleury.
