Pavel Dorofeyev<\/a> of Vegas<\/a> tied his game against the New York Islanders<\/a> with 14 seconds left, while Colorado<\/a>‘s Cale Makar<\/a> came through on a power-play goal with 8 seconds remaining at Nashville<\/a>.<\/p>\n Connor McDavid<\/a> cut it a little closer by scoring the equalizer for Edmonton<\/a> with 2 seconds on the clock versus Buffalo<\/a>, and 19-year-old Beckett Sennecke<\/a> of Anaheim<\/a> really had a flair for the dramatic, scoring with 1 second left in Pittsburgh<\/a>.<\/p>\n Alas, not all the tying goals resulted in favorable endings.<\/p>\n Of the four late-scoring teams, only Anaheim prevailed — in a shootout, no less.
