Tyler Bozak scored one of the biggest goals of his career Wednesday night, as he gave the St. Louis Blues a life extension in the 2022 NHL Stanley Cup Playoffs by finding the back of the net in overtime of Game 5 against the Colorado Avalanche at home.
With over three minutes into overtime, Bozak found some space from the center and did not hesitate to fire a shot that got past Avalanche goaltender Darcy Kuemper. Bozak explained the process it took for him to launch the game-winner, which really was him reiterating that famous Wayne Gretzky hockey adage.
“I just got a little bounce up top and saw a lane to the net. In overtime, there's definitely no such thing as a bad shot. Just tried to get it through on the traffic. All I know is that it went in, and that's all that matters,” he said.
The Blues were outshot in the game by Colorado and were down 3-0 at one point in the game, but they somehow found a way to claw their way into a victory. St. Louis was even down a goal with less than a minute to go in regulation before Robert Thomas found the back of the net to send the game into overtime.
Now, the Blues have a chance to force Game 7, with the frustrated bunch of the Avalanche traveling to St. Louis for Game 6 this coming Friday.
