Vegas has turned the tables! 😳 #StanleyCup https://t.co/qKzLMqnowd

What happened: Vegas fell behind 2-0 early but answered with three unanswered goals to seize the lead. ESPN flagged the swing, noting the Golden Knights had "turned the tables" as the home crowd roared back to life. The rally erased what had been a comfortable cushion for the opponent.

Why it matters: Momentum swings like this can decide a postseason game and shift the tenor of a series. The comeback keeps the Vegas Golden Knights, who reached the Western Conference Final this spring, pushing forward in their Stanley Cup pursuit.

What to watch: Watch whether Vegas can protect the lead and close out the game, and how the result reshapes the series.
