In a thrilling Game 2 of the Western Conference First Round, Nicolas Roy—acquired by the Avalanche late in the season—came through when Colorado needed him most, with the score tied 1-1 deep into overtime. After Gabriel Landeskog’s late third-period equalizer, Roy pounced on a rebound in the slot during a goalmouth scramble. He knocked the loose puck past the goaltender to find the back of the net. The 2023 Stanley Cup champion with Vegas delivered the overtime winner, giving the Avalanche a 2-0 series lead against the Kings—a series which they eventually swept.
