Brandon Bussi (Western Michigan) stopped 18 of 19 shots in relief, but couldn't prevent the game-winning goal as the Vegas Golden Knights rebounded for a 5-4 win over the Carolina Hurricanes last night in double overtime in Game Three of the 2006 Stanley Cup Final. Vegas now leads the series, two games to one.
Bussi took over in net for the Hurricanes at the start of the third period, with Carolina down 4-0, and backstopped them to a 4-4 tie before a Shea Theodore carom off the end boards glanced off his left pad and into the Hurricanes net to end Bussi's first appearance in this year's playoffs. Carolina scored three goals in 39 seconds in the third period and then added a power-play goal to force overtime, after Vegas had forged a four-goal lead in the second stanza, with Mitch Marner scoring three of those goals and assisting on the other.
Game Four of the best-of-seven NHL championship series is Tuesday night in Nevada.
