Denver, CO (Sports Network) - Mason Raymond scored the lone goal in the
shootout, as the Vancouver Canucks rallied to beat the Colorado Avalanche,
3-2, at Pepsi Center.
The Avalanche were staring at an empty net with a lead in hand, but Vancouver
defenseman Kevin Bieksa made a diving stop to save a goal. Moments later, it
was Bieksa sending the game to overtime as a shot from between the circles
eluded Jean-Sebastien Giguere with 34.1 seconds remaining.
After the five-minute session, Raymond, the fourth shooter in the tiebreaker,
sped down the right wing and beat Giguere with a shot through the pads.
Vancouver's Roberto Luongo then turned away a backhand bid from Ryan O'Reilly
to secure the additional point.
