Barbashev scores in OT, the Golden Knights rally late and defeat the Jets

Keegan Kolesar also scored a goal and Theodore had two assists for the Golden Knights (19-7-3), who have won four straight. Adin Hill made 18 saves.

“We were able to tie the ball up and then go back down. We stuck with it until the end,” Kolesar said. “We didn’t waver in our game at all, played until the end and were able to get two points.”

Josh Morrissey and Nikita Chibrikov scored for the Jets (21-9-1), who are 3-1-1 in their last five games. Connor Hellebuyck made 34 saves.

“We didn’t like our first two periods,” Morrissey said. “Of course they are a very good team, but we are still 1-0 up until the third half. … (We) did a good job in the third period, I thought, trying to play our game when we hadn’t really played our best in the first two. Of course, given the penalties at the end of the game, it was a difficult ending. It was a difficult situation and we couldn’t do it in OT.”

Chibrikov gave the Jets a 1-0 lead at 9:27 of the first period. Vladislav Namestnikov’s shot on the rush was kicked aside by Hill, allowing Chibrikov to land on the left side of the net to intervene. He has scored a goal in each of his first three NHL games.

“I think (Chibrikov) is developing, he’s learning every game, every shift,” Winnipeg coach Scott Arniel said. “He’s competitive, he goes into those areas, he scored that goal tonight. He does a lot. “A lot of times you worry that he could be a threat without the puck, but that line looked good and that’s what you hope for when a guy like that comes in there.”
