Charlie McAvoy on his game-saving shot block: “Whatever it takes, right?”

In the dying seconds of tonight’s Game 5, the Bruins were desperately holding onto a one-goal lead. The puck landed on the stick of Brad Marchand with just a handful of seconds to go, and Marchand appeared to have an easy clear.

Instead, he turned the puck over inside the defensive zone, and, as they had done multiple times in the third period, Columbus turned it into a quick-strike offense opportunity, with the puck landing on the stick of their best player, Artemi Panarin.

He fired a rocket toward the net, but Charlie McAvoy had other ideas.
