Barbashev added an empty-netter with 1:03 remaining. The comeback stunned the capacity crowd and wiped out the top-seeded Avalanche\u2019s 1-0 lead.<\/p>\n<p>By winning twice at Ball Arena, the Golden Knights put the Avalanche in a huge hole. Since 1982, road teams that started 2-0 in the conference finals have a 13-0 series record.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey understand the situation,\u201d said Vegas coach John Tortorella, whose team is 17-4-1 since he took over on March 29. \u201cI\u2019m not sure where the series goes. I\u2019m not sure where Game 3 goes. But I know I\u2019m not going to have to worry about that, because they get it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Carter Hart had another stellar performance, stopping 29 shots. He made 36 saves in a 4-2 win on Wednesday.<\/p>\n<p>Colorado was cruising after Ross Colton opened the scoring in the first period. But things unraveled for the Avalanche in the third. Eichel lined a shot past Scott Wedgewood for his first goal in 11 games to get Vegas on the board. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cI haven\u2019t scored in a million days,\u201d he cracked.<\/p>\n<p>The Golden Knights then took advantage of a miscue \u2014 Devon Toews and Brock Nelson struggled to clear the puck along the boards in the Avalanche end \u2014 as Eichel sent a pass to Barbashev, who rang in a shot off the post.<\/p>\n<p>This was the fourth third-period comeback by the Golden Knights in this postseason, the most in a single playoffs in team history, according to NHL Stats.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cJust resiliency,\u201d Hart said. \u201cThat\u2019s the key word for our group here \u2014 we\u2019ve just stuck in games and just grinded it out, and just battled. Resiliency, that\u2019s a term that describes our group really well. We\u2019re never out of the fight, and we\u2019re always grinding in games.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/raleighmovingnews.com\/?p=1164\">Si Woo Kim just misses history at Byron Nelson, settling for 60 after a bogey on the final hole<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Game 3 is Sunday night in Las Vegas. The Avalanche are hoping to have star defenseman Cale Makar back in the lineup. He has missed the last two games because of an upper-body injury. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere\u2019s urgency to get him back since he got hurt,\u201d Avalanche coach Jared Bednar said. \u201cHe\u2019s doing all the work he can possibly do to get back as fast as he can.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Before the Golden Knights\u2019 rally, the Avalanche were 45-0-0 when leading after two periods in the regular season and playoffs combined. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt stings for sure right now,\u201d Avalanche captain Gabriel Landeskog said. \u201cBut tomorrow we\u2019ll wake up, have a meeting, fly to Vegas and regroup. That\u2019s all you can do.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Vegas struggled on the power play, going 0 of 4. The team also saw defenseman Brayden McNabb limp to the locker room in the first period soon after taking a check along the boards. He returned for the third period. The hard-checking Golden Knights finished with 32 hits and 16 blocked shots. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe know how hard it is to win,\u201d Eichel said. \u201cA lot of that falls on playing hard defensively.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Avalanche defenseman Josh Manson briefly left late in the second period after delivering a check on Barbashev and then ramming his face into the boards. <\/p>\n<p>Wedgewood had 22 saves.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe can\u2019t ride the emotional roller-coaster like fans,\u201d Bednar said. \u201cIf you lose Game 1, you\u2019re getting swept. If you win Game 1, we\u2019re sweeping them. That\u2019s not reality. You have to deal with the task at hand and what\u2019s to come. We\u2019re not going to try and win four games in the next night in Vegas. We\u2019re going to try to win one game.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/raleighmovingnews.com\/?p=1162\">Headlights on the road seeming brighter?
