Vegas Golden Knights at Utah Hockey Club
· National Hockey LeagueKarlsson scores 2 late goals and Golden Knights rally for 4-2 win over Utah

Karlsson scored twice in the final 73 seconds, adding an empty-netter with 28.2 seconds left. Tomas Hertl had a pair of power-play goals to help Vegas erase a two-goal deficit. Adin Hill made 32 saves for the Golden Knights.
Logan Cooley and Mikhail Sergachev scored for Utah. Karel Vejmelka made 25 saves.
Cooley blasted in a 30-foot slap shot in the first period and Sergachev scored on a second-period power play to put Utah ahead 2-0.
Hertl got Vegas on the board when he tapped in the puck later in the second and then tied it in the third on another close-range blast.
Utah: Better-than-usual defensive form kept Utah competitive, but diminishing returns on offense in the third period made it tough to prevent a rally.
VGK leads series 2-0
