The Vegas Golden Knights achieved a thrilling 6-5 overtime victory against the Toronto Maple Leafs on Thursday night. Jack Eichel scored the game-winning goal just 2:16 into overtime and also provided three assists, leading the Knights to come back from a two-goal deficit in the third period.

The Golden Knights tied the game in the final seconds of regulation, setting the stage for Eichel's decisive goal. Additionally, Adin Hill was activated from injured reserve and made a return to the lineup after being out with a lower-body injury since October 20.

The Maple Leafs faced challenges of their own, with William Nylander exiting the game early due to a lower-body injury, leaving the team in a difficult situation as they fell to a record of 23-16-8 following the loss.

According to reports, Mitch Marner played an emotional game against his former team, contributing two assists on power play goals, including one for Pavel Dorofeyev.
