The New Jersey Devils needed overtime on Tuesday night to force a Game 7, and it was Travis Zajac that ended up scoring the game-winning goal. And this is what it looked like...



So many quality things happened on this play for the Devils.

First, the goal may never get scored without the impressive backcheck by Zach Parise to disrupt Stephen Weiss on a 2-on-1 rush going the other direction. If Weiss is able to get an uncontested shot on goal, it might end right there. And let's not overlook the pass by Ilya Kovalchuk to set up Zajac as the Devils went to work in the offensive zone.

For Zajac it's his third goal of the series after appearing in just 15 games during the regular season due to injury. It's also his second career overtime playoff goal, having also scored a game-winner back on April 19, 2009, in a 3-2 win against the Carolina Hurricanes in Game 3 of an Eastern Conference Quarterfinal series.
