  "account": "LAS VEGAS (AP) — Trevor Connelly scored in the fifth round of the shootout as the Vegas Golden Knights came back from a three-goal deficit, defeating the Toronto Maple Leafs 4-3 on Thursday night. The rookie's backhand-forehand move beat Toronto's goalie Sergei Bobrovsky before Adin Hill stopped John Tavares as Vegas rallied for their third consecutive win. Braeden Bowman, Kirill Marchenko, Mark Stone, Brett Howden and Jack Eichel scored for Vegas. Bobrovsky made 40 saves, while Hill made 21 and stopped four of Toronto's five shootout attempts. Jack Roslovic, Easton Cowan and Nick Paul led the Maple Leafs with 3 goals in the first period. Vegas outshot Toronto 43-24 but failed to score a power-play goal for the first time this season.",
