Logan O'Connor of the Colorado Avalanche scored his sixth goal of the season, putting his team ahead with a 2-1 score against the Boston Bruins. The goal, which could be cheekily summarized as 'Oops I'll just take that,' resulted from a turnover by Bruins' Kevin Shattenkirk, which O'Connor capitalized on after a forecheck that forced a mistake. O'Connor's persistent pressure on the Bruins' defense, particularly on Shattenkirk and Pavel Zacha, led to the two colliding and losing the puck in what some are calling the forecheck of the century. O'Connor, who played three years at Denver under coach Jim Montgomery, seized the opportunity and scored.
Avs, 2-1. Logan O'Connor. O'Connor played 3 years at Denver, coached by Jim Montgomery.
