Colorado Avalanche golden boy Andre Burakovsky is having quite the postseason. On Friday, with the Avs facing elimination, Burakovsky just scored the go-ahead goal.
And it was all him.
Aggressive on forecheck, Burakovsky forces the turnover, then releases a perfect wristshot to beat Dallas goalie Anton Khudobin up high.
A flawless shot, just like we expect from Andre in elimination games, as I’m sure you remember.

Burakovsky, 25 years old and therefore technically a grown-up, has scored six goals in his last five elim games and four goals in his last three Games Seven.
“Clearly,” said NBC Sports analyst AJ Mleczko, “he’s a clutch player.”
And we’re all his proud parents.
