Roy Ends It in Overtime and the Avalanche Aren't Done Yet

Nicolas Roy buried the game winner at 7:44 of overtime and Colorado just refused to let the Kings walk out of Game 2 with the series. Roy's backhand through the defender was the dagger, but this comeback started way earlier when Gabriel Landeskog tied it late in the third period. The Avalanche are rolling, and LA is running out of answers.

Landeskog's Late Third Keeps Colorado Alive

Here's the thing about the Avalanche: they don't panic when things look dark. Landeskog ripped one through the backdoor late in the third to even the score at 1 and force overtime. That's the kind of goal that changes the entire momentum of a series. One minute you're thinking the Kings might steal this on the road, the next minute you're watching Colorado celebrate in front of their home crowd in extra time.

Roy Finishes What Landeskog Started

When overtime got rolling, Roy didn't waste any time. His backhand through a defender at 7:44 ended it for good, giving Colorado the 2-1 series advantage headed back to LA. That's the difference between being down 2-0 heading home and coming home with momentum. The Kings looked for a way to win after this one, but they came up just short when it mattered most.

Game 2 of this series proved once again that the Avalanche have ice in their veins when the stakes are highest. This team doesn't go away quietly, and if you give them an opening, they're going to find a way to capitalize. The Kings are still fighting, but Colorado just showed them exactly what they're up against.
