Gavin Brindley scored 1:08 into overtime and the visiting Colorado Avalanche beat the Vancouver Canucks 5-4 on Sunday night.

Brindley carried the puck into the Vancouver end and put a shot on Kevin Lankinen, who couldn’t corral the rebound. Brindley tapped it between the goaltender’s leg to give Colorado its first win in six games beyond regulation. Colorado has won five of its last six and has earned at least a point in every game over that span.

Nathan MacKinnon had two goals and three assists, Artturi Lehkonen also scored twice, Valeri Nichushkin had two assists and Mackenzie Blackwood turned away 29 shots in his second start of the season. It was the second straight night MacKinnon had at least four points and now leads the NHL in points (29) and goals (14).
