The last time was in 2016 between Pittsburgh and San Jose.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>The Golden Knights seemed to have it in hand after scoring four times in the second, including a natural hat trick by Marner.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>But Jordan Martinook, Taylor Hall, and Jordan Staal scored goals for the Hurricanes.
