I've watched it a few times now and after getting mauled by Stoner, he creates a scoring chance before getting crosschecked by Lindholm into another crosscheck from Stoner, before getting the businesses from Kesler and... finding his way back in front of the net for the screen on the game winner.
Would love if someone with more technical ability than myself could post a video of the "shift 2015" (here's looking at you AC...)

great post your right if just keep your eyes on Jiri (thanks to AC's upload)
Jiri battles the much bigger D that entire shift and he didn't quite after being tripped and knocked down until Backlund scored.
Super impressive battle in front of the net, he reminded me of Roberts there.
