Tomas Hertl tipped in Mitch Marner’s shot from the point on the power play with 13 seconds remaining in overtime to lift the Vegas Golden Knights to a 4-3 win over the Jets at Canada Life Centre in Winnipeg Tuesday night.

It was just the fifth time this season in a league-high 17 attempts the Knights (18-11-12) have won a game that went beyond regulation.

Carter Hart made several big stops in overtime, and Marner drew a penalty in front of the net with 50 seconds remaining to set up the game-winner.

The Knights snapped a five-game losing streak and a stretch of eight losses in nine games.

Reilly Smith tied the game 3-3 on a rebound goal with 4:05 remaining, 59 seconds after Kyle Connor had given the Jets (15-21-5) a 3-2 lead.

Before the game, Hertl was added to the Czechia roster for next month’s Winter Olympics in Italy, becoming the seventh Knights player named to an Olympic roster.

This will be Hertl’s first Olympic appearance.

Czechia will open Olympic play Feb. 12 against Canada, which includes Knights standouts Marner, Mark Stone and Shea Theodore.
