SALT LAKE CITY (AP) ---
Vegas' Brett Howden scored on a tip-in with 9:35 remaining in the third period
as the Golden Knights and the Utah Mammoth played to a 4-4 tie through
regulation Monday night in Game 4 of their first-round playoff series.
Utah leads in the series 2-1.
The Golden Knights raced out to a 3-0 lead with two goals in the first and one
early in the second by Pavel Dorofeyev, Brett Howden, and Cole Smith.
Utah countered with four straight scores, capped by Clayton Keller's wrist shot
off a deflection for a 4-3 lead at the 5:10 mark of the third period.
Utah's Karel Vejmelka had 24 stops in the first three periods. Carter Hart had
18 saves for Vegas in regulation.
Facing a three-goal deficit, Utah's Nick Schmaltz and Ian Cole scored 29
seconds apart in the second period to set the Mammoth's comeback in motion.
Schmaltz got Utah on the board at the 8:04 mark, and Cole followed with a
50-foot slapshot at 8:33 of the second.
Michael Carcone tied it on another slapshot at 1:44 of the third.
Dorofeyev flicked home a wrist shot to put the Golden Knights in front just 72
seconds into the first. Howden then threaded another wrist shot past Vejmelka's
skate for a short-handed goal with 1:22 left in the period.
Smith's tip-in at 3:27 of the second gave the Golden Knights their third goal.
Game 5 of the best-of-seven series is Wednesday night in Las Vegas.
