Deadspin | Knights pull level with Mammoth on Shea Theodore’s OT goal  Apr 27, 2026; Salt Lake City, Utah, USA; Vegas Golden Knights center Brett Howden (21) shoots and scores against Utah Mammoth goaltender Karel Vejmelka (70), center Alexander Kerfoot (15) and defenseman MacKenzie Weegar (52) during the first period in game four of the first round of the 2026 Stanley Cup Playoffs at Delta Center. Mandatory Credit: Rob Gray-Imagn Images   Shea Theodore scored with 52 seconds remaining in overtime, giving the Vegas Golden Knights a 5-4 win over the Utah Mammoth in Game 4 of their first-round Western Conference playoff series on Monday in Salt Lake City.  The best-of-seven series is tied 2-2, as the Knights rebounded after losing the previous two games and squandering a 3-0 lead on Monday to fall behind 4-3. Game 5 is set for Wednesday in Las Vegas.  As double overtime approached, a broken play in front of the Utah net left goalie Karel Vejmelka without a stick. The puck was quickly moved in front to Theodore, and the defenseman buried the shot for the first playoff OT goal in his 11 NHL seasons.  Brett Howden had two goals and an assist for Vegas, and Jack Eichel had three assists. Noah Hanifin had two assists, and Cole Smith and Pavel Dorofeyev scored the other Vegas goals.  Carter Hart stopped 27 of 31 shots to earn his second win of the playoffs.  Mikhail Sergachev had three assists for the Mammoth, and Nick Schmaltz had a goal and an assist. Clayton Keller, Ian Cole and Michael Carcone contributed Utah’s other goals.  Vejmelka stopped 31 of 36 shots.   Dorfeyev and Howden bookended the first period with their first goals of the playoffs, beginning with Dorfeyev’s tally just 1:12 into the game. During a Mammoth power play at the 18:38 mark, a Mitch Marner takeaway set up Howden for the short-handed goal.  At 3:26 of the second period, Smith slickly redirected Hanifin’s point shot to give Vegas a 3-0 lead.  Just when the Golden Knights seemed to be in full command, the Mammoth responded with two goals in 29 seconds.  Schmaltz started the comeback at the 8:04 mark of the middle frame by converting his own rebound. Cole then added the quick follow-up with a long-range shot that deflected off the post and into the Knights’ net.  Carcone scored the equalizer on a one-timer from the right circle 1:45 into the third period, and Keller gave Utah its first lead on a deflected goal 5:10 into the third frame. It was then the Knights’ turn to equalize on a Howden tip-in at the 10:25 mark.  –Field Level Media   #Deadspin #Knights #pull #level #Mammoth #Shea #Theodores #goalApr 27, 2026; Salt Lake City, Utah, USA; Vegas Golden Knights center Brett Howden (21) shoots and scores against Utah Mammoth goaltender Karel Vejmelka (70), center Alexander Kerfoot (15) and defenseman MacKenzie Weegar (52) during the first period in game four of the first round of the 2026 Stanley Cup Playoffs at Delta Center.

Fans waited a month to watch Pakistan Super League games in person after the T20 tournament was impacted by the Iran war. They waited a few more hours on Tuesday because of a ticketing problem.

A day after prime minister Shehbaz Sharif approved the return of fans to stadiums for the remaining four games of the country’s premier cricket tournament, ticket distribution hit a snag.

“Printing of tickets was done in Lahore and it was supposed to come to Karachi through cargo at 1 p.m., but the flight got canceled,” league CEO Salman Naseer told reporters.

So, hundreds of fans waited in line for several hours ahead of the first Playoff match — between Islamabad United and Peshawar Zalmi in the southern port city of Karachi — as tickets eventually arrived behind schedule.

“We received lots of complaints, but the problem was that we got very short time,” Naseer said. “Prior to this only the final was announced (for fans) and our whole focus was on Lahore.

“Passion of fans is there. My only fear is that spectators will get the tickets, but they might not able to watch the complete game.”

Tickets went on sale four hours before the qualifier started and around 5,000 spectators were inside the National Bank Stadium when Islamabad captain Shadab Khan won the toss and elected to field against Peshawar, led by Babar Azam.

“I came here to support Peshawar Zalmi, especially Babar bhai (brother),” said Jawad Ahmed as he waited in a long queue to get his ticket. “Had we got more matches in Karachi, we could have got more opportunities to see players in action. Now they have allowed one game, but you can see our excitement. The rush is in front of you.”

And Babar didn’t disappoint Peshawar fans. He hit an aggressive 103 off 59 balls, including 12 fours and four sixes, in his team’s total of 221 for seven. It was Babar’s second century this season.

Pakistan’s biggest sports spectacle had started behind closed doors with fans asked to stay home because of soaring fuel prices due to the Iran war.

Permission for spectators at all four playoff games came just 24 hours before the qualifier between Peshawar and Islamabad started.
