DENVER (AP) — The St. Louis Blues have forced a Game 6 in their Stanley Cup second-round series with the Avalanche.

The Blues erased a pair of late deficits before Tyler Bozek scored 3:38 into overtime to give them a 5-4 victory at Colorado.

Bozek capped a frantic rally in which Robert Thomas tied the game with 54 seconds left in regulation. The Avs scored the first three goals and were ahead, 3-1 in the third period until Thomas and Justin Faulk scored 4:17 apart.

Nathan MacKinnon’s third goal of the night put the Avalanche ahead late in the third, but the Blues sent the series back to St. Louis for Game 6 on Friday.
