The Colorado Avalanche and the St. Louis Blues play Game 6 tonight in St. Louis. The Blues need this win at home to keep the series alive.
St. Louis had an all-time comeback in Game 5. They entered the third period trailing 1-3, and then Nick Leddy went to work, setting up two great goals for the Blues to tie it.
However, Nathan MacKinnon answered right back. With three minutes left, MacKinnon broke down the ice, skated past four defenders, and capped off his hat trick with a nasty goal that gave the Avalanche a 4-3 lead.

But the Blues weren't done yet. They pulled their goalie, and with a minute left, Robert Thomas netted a puck as it bounced off Darcy Kuemper.
The Blues didn't waste any time in overtime. It took less than four minutes for who else but Nick Leddy to set up Tyler Bozak to score on a deep slapshot.

Mikko Rantanen has been just as important to the Avalanche as Buchnevich has been to the Blues. Rantanen is tied with Cale Markar at 10 assists this postseason, but Rantanen has been better than Markar in this series. So far, Rantanen has put up a point in every game, and this is not a streak that should end tonight.
