While this game wasn’t mentioned as much as some other events, it was a highlight for many people, judging by the amount of re-tweets and favorites that Austin’s tweet got. And how wouldn’t it be? The Avs trailed 1-0 and 3-1, before tying the game with less than three minutes to go in the third period and winning it in the shootout. Rookie-goalie Calvin Pickard made some incredible saves and recorded 33 overall that night, Gabriel Landeskog fought Andrew Ladd, and Matt Duchene and Nathan MacKinnon scored in the shootout for a 4-3 win — awesome!
