Immediately following Erik Karlsson’s overtime goal at 5 minutes and 23 seconds of the first overtime that propelled the San Jose Sharks to a 5-4 victory, the St. Louis Blues were arguing the non-call.
In a wild sequence deep into Blues territory, Timo Meier appeared to bat down the puck to linemate Gustav Nyquist, who quickly pushed it to Karlsson to seal Game 3 and give the visitors a 2-1 series lead in the Western Conference Finals.
“It was a game of momentum swings, and those quick little plays happen all over the ice,” DeBoer said in the post-game press conference.
