Max Pacioretty had two goals and an assist, including the winning goal in overtime, and Mark Stone had a career-high five assists as Vegas Golden Knights rallied from a 4-2 deficit to snap the Minnesota Wild's six-game winning streak, 5-4, on Monday night in Las Vegas.

Pacioretty redirected Stone's crossing pass from the right doorstep past Cam Talbot at the end of a two-on-one break for the game-winner two minutes into OT after Vegas' Alex Tuch had tied it with 42 seconds left in regulation.

Stone became the first NHL player in three years to log five primary assists in a single game.

Cody Glass and Nicolas Hague also scored goals for Vegas, which extended its win streak to three games. Marc-Andre Fleury, making his ninth consecutive start, finished with 26 saves.

Marcus Foligno had two goals and an assist, Jordan Greenway and Nick Bonino each scored goals and Jonas Brodin had two assists for Minnesota. Talbot made 34 saves.

Following a scoreless first period that saw both Glass and Jonathan Marchessault fire shots off the post, the teams combined for six goals over a 11-minute span in the second period.

Vegas took a 1-0 lead at the 7:09 mark on a power-play goal by Glass, who redirected Stone's centering pass between Talbot's pass for his third goal of the season.

Minnesota tied it less than two minutes later when Greenway knocked in his own rebound of a shot that bounced off Fleury's blocker into the slot for his third goal of the season.

Foligno then gave the Wild a 2-1 lead just 66 seconds later when Brodin's shot from the left wing ricocheted off his skate into his shin pad and through Fleury's pads.

The Golden Knights tied it less than four minutes later with another power-play goal by Pacioretty who tapped in Stone's crossing pass into the right side of the net for his ninth goal of the season.

Minnesota responded with two goals in just 19 seconds to take a 4-2 lead after two periods.

Bonino got the first, his second of the season, when he put in a rebound of a Nico Sturm wraparound try at 17:53. Foligno followed when he buried a wrist shot from the left circle past Fleury for his sixth goal of the season.

The Golden Knights rallied to tie it on Hague's one-timer from inside the blue line and Tuch's redirect of a Stone pass with 42 seconds to go after Fleury had been pulled for an extra attacker.
