This was an important game for Vancouver and St. Louis, as both teams were making a push for a Western Conference wild card spot. At the time, both teams had 75 points on the season, with the Canucks residing in the final playoff spot due to having played less games at the time. Within a four-point span of them were the Calgary Flames (73) and the Utah Mammoth (71). Ahead of them in the standings were the Minnesota Wild with 83 points.
In this high-stakes affair, it was St. Louis’ Zack Bolduc who opened the scoring with less than five minutes left in the second period. Despite the fact that Vancouver entered the third period down a goal, within the first seven minutes, they soon vaulted to a 2–1 lead thanks to Kiefer Sherwood and Brock Boeser (marking the 200th of his NHL career). A couple of minutes later, Tyler Tucker and Dylan Holloway scored for the Blues, with both players’ goals only coming 25 seconds apart.
Gameplay aside, there were a few reasons why this game was memorable. For starters, the game ultimately went to overtime after a buzzer beater from Boeser, as the forward scored at 19:57 of the third period. This was the second game in a row in which Boeser scored multiple goals, as he previously put up two in the team’s 6–2 victory against the Winnipeg Jets two days prior. As well, Sherwood made his 383rd hit of the season, which tied him for the NHL record previously held by Jeremy Lauzon. He went on to break this record the game after. Finally, Canucks captain Quinn Hughes tallied his 399th career NHL point in this game.
