Sean Walker scores own-goal in Game 3 of Stanley Cup Final
Summary

In Game 3 of the Stanley Cup Final on June 6, Carolina Hurricanes defenseman Sean Walker scored an own-goal that gave the Vegas Golden Knights a 2-0 lead. The misplay occurred just 16 seconds after the Golden Knights had put their first goal on the board. Walker’s deflection of a pass from Mitch Marner caught goaltender Frederik Andersen off-guard, compounding the Hurricanes' struggles after an earlier successful challenge that had negated two potential Golden Knights goals. The situation created significant momentum for Vegas, who scored again shortly after Walker's miscue.
