The ending was abrupt, like the cable going out during a movie’s pivotal scene. The lump-in-your-throat nervousness that filled Xcel Energy Center for three-plus hours Saturday afternoon gave way to stunned silence.

Ivan Barbashev scored at 17:26 of overtime and the Vegas Golden Knights beat the Minnesota Wild 4-3 in Game 4 to even their first-round playoff series.

Foligno’s third goal of the series, early in the middle frame, gave the Wild the lead when he popped in the rebound after Hill stopped a Ryan Hartman shot from the hashmarks. With the assist, Hartman became the second player in Wild franchise history to record a helper in each of the first four games of a playoff series.
