The momentum was all Avalanche. They outshot the Wild 4-0 in overtime. Kulak\u2019s moment? Well, he couldn\u2019t have scripted it any better.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou always like to dream about it, but the player I am, I’m not the guy everyone’s looking down the bench like, ‘All right, get out there and go win it for us.’ So no, it’s been good,\u201d Kulak said with a smile. \u201cIt was a tough series. That’s a good team over there. So, for us to play the way we did and get the job done, and just for me, a special goal in my career, for sure.\u201d<\/p>\n
It was quite the exclamation point on the series for the Avalanche, but they\u2019re not done yet. As Bednar reminded everyone at the end of the night, Colorado is only halfway through the postseason.<\/p>\n
The Avalanche will get some rest, which they\u2019ll need. Defenseman Cale Makar<\/a>\u00a0looks like he\u2019s hurting — Bednar said afterward he was \u201cOK.\u201d Forward Artturi Lehkonen<\/a>\u00a0and defenseman Sam Malinski<\/a>\u00a0have missed the past two games with upper-body injuries.<\/p>\n Colorado will enjoy this game. And what a game it was.<\/p>\n \u201cJust the belief. We just find ways to claw back,\u201d Necas said. \u201cIf they’re going to play a little bit more puck management, time management, we\u2019re going to get chances. We just had to get on our side of the puck, which we were, and we found a way to do it.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The momentum was all Avalanche.
