VANCOUVER, British Columbia — Derrick Pouliot scored on the power play in overtime to give the Canucks a 7-6 win over the Colorado Avalanche on Friday night at Rogers Arena
Alexander Kerfoot was in the penalty box after hauling down Canucks rookie Elias Pettersson on a partial breakaway at 3:36 of OT, when Pouliot's rebound bounced off defenseman Gabriel Bourque, off the post and in.
Nathan McKinnon scored on the power play at 18:23 of the third period to pull the Avalanche up 6-5, but rookie Elias Pettersson turned a Colorado giveaway behind the net in his second goal of the game to make it 6-6 at 19:24 and send the game to overtime.
