The Canucks can point to Jacob Markstrom, again, for their 3-2 shootout win over the Stars.
The hand gestures by Sven Baertschi when he was describing his first-period goal on Saturday tell a story all their own.
For professional athletes, this is it. They spend most of their time just trying to be better. They do, often unconsciously I’m sure, also spend time trying to suppress the idea that it could all end in a flash, that they could sustain an injury they won’t be able to overcome. “I’m really happy with the way I’ve competed,” Baertschi said after the game. “I’m taking every shift really serious, trying to leave everything out there.”“There was a lot of flow on that play,” he said of the sequence, which started with Brock Boeser winning a puck battle in the neutral zone and the puck bouncing forward up towards the Stars’ blue line, despite it looking like the play might have been about the cycle back towards the Canucks’ end.
Elias Pettersson was rushing down on the left as Baertschi found empty space behind Klingberg on the right, staring down Anton Khubodin.Jacob Markstrom with a nice save late on a blast from Tyler Seguin to force OT.#Canucks and Stars tied at 2 after regulation.
