Foligno then scored a short-handed goal to put the Wild ahead 5-4 at 16:55. MacKinnon missed a drop pass from Landeskog at the blue line, and Foligno chased it down before finishing a backhand deke at the right post on a breakaway.<\/p>\n
\u201cJust a little surprised, to be honest with you, just to see like how they all stopped skating, and I just had a puck all by myself,\u201d Foligno said. \u201cI saw Wedgewood wasn’t coming out, so just tried to get up there as fast as I could. I was thinking it might be a 2-on-0 with my brother. He held off. He just said to take it, and just a good deke. I mean, I think he was thinking I was shooting, but he’s an aggressive goalie and he’s got some good hands.<\/p>\n
\u201cI think I just maybe saw (Tarasenko’s) move where he commits the one side pretty heavy. So, if you can come back, you get some room there. So, that’s kind of my thought process kind of going in there, and just thankful it worked out.\u201d<\/p>\n
Toews quickly tied it 5-5 at 18:04 with a wrist shot from the high slot that broke the stick of Michael McCarron<\/a>\u00a0and bounced past the right toe of Wallstedt shortly after a power play expired.<\/p>\n Makar gave the Avalanche the lead back, 6-5, at 3:21 of the third period. Following a face-off win by Landeskog, Makar buried a shot from the right circle that went in off the far post.<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019m just trying to shoot where I see open lanes,\u201d Makar said. \u201cBoth of those plays we did a really good job creating space up high and then finding those seams. (Toews), great pass, and Nate off the face-off. For me it\u2019s just trying to get pucks there, and hopefully either, if not score, get rebounds and hopefully get guys there.\u201d<\/p>\n Kadri extended it to 7-5 at 5:43, beating Wallstedt under his glove from the right circle on a partial breakaway after being sprung by Ross Colton<\/a>.<\/p>\n \u201cBeen watching a lot of this goaltender, so picked my spot, and definitely picked it properly,\u201d Kadri said. \u201cWe certainly wanted to come in and challenge him and force him to make some good saves, and I’m happy we’re able to get on the board quite a few times today.\u201d<\/p>\n
