Resilience. Determination. Style. Power. These are just some of the many ways to describe what just happened.
After a Game 7 was looking likely between the Colorado Avalanche and St. Louis Blues, fourth-liner Darren Helm played heroics with only 5.6 seconds left in regulation to clinch his team a spot in the Western Conference Finals.
The Avs are a part of the final four teams in the Stanley Cup Playoffs for the first time since 2002. It sets up a dramatic matchup with the Edmonton Oilers, with the headliner of Nathan MacKinnon versus Connor McDavid.
