Big win for many reasons. Of course tying the series is number one, but beyond that, Gaudreau scoring and doing so on a breakaway (PS) is huge after missing the game prior. It stops the immediate narrative of his lack of post season production thus far, and cancels any focused attention on missing a breakaway(s).
Beyond that, just winning a game they outright deserved to win is huge. Peppering a goalie who’s playing well can be frustrating if you cannot score and it can be deflating. But they managed to persevere and capitalize and ultimately break through. Much like the Gaudreau situation, it cuts off the negative narrative of not being able to beat a goalie and being stymied, etc.
Many dark clouds were lifted after this game.
