William Karlsson's first career postseason overtime goal lifted the Vegas Golden Knights past the San Jose Sharks on Monday night by a score of 4-3, giving Vegas a 2-1 series lead.

The goal capped a stellar two-point game for the underrated forward that also included one of the nicest one-touch passes you'll ever see.

The storybook season continues for the 25-year-old Swede, who's coming off an All-Star-caliber year in which he registered career highs in goals, assists, and points (43, 35, and 78).

Game 4 goes Wednesday night at the Shark Tank.
