TAMPA -- Nikita Kucherov scored 32 seconds into overtime to lift the Tampa Bay Lightning to a 2-1 win against the Vegas Golden Knights at Benchmark International Arena on Sunday.

Brayden Point stole the puck from Shea Theodore to initiate a 2-on-1 rush, and Kucherov chipped the puck past Golden Knights goalie Carl Lindbom on a return pass from Brandon Hagel .

Kucherov, who reached 1,000 NHL points the previous night in a 4-3 win against the Anaheim Ducks, had what appeared to be the go-ahead goal taken off the board at 13:38 of the third period when Vegas successfully challenged for offside.

Hagel also scored for the Lightning (3-4-2), who have won two straight for the first time this season. Andrei Vasilevskiy made 18 saves in his first win of the season.
