NHL playoffs: Golden Knights stun Oilers with 0.4 seconds left, with some help from Leon Draisaitl's stick

The Las Vegas Golden Knights are on the board against the Edmonton Oilers. It took one of the most dramatic games of the NHL playoffs to get there.

With time ticking down toward overtime in a must-win Game 3, with the Oilers leading 2-0, the Golden Knights got the puck where they needed, in the hands of the player they needed, with the bounce they needed to steal their first win of the series.

It was Reilly Smith with the game-winning goal with 0.4 seconds left, with assists from William Karlsson, Brayden McNabb and, unfortunately, Oilers star Leon Draisaitl, whose stick was in the worst possible place in the worst possible time.
