Denver • Paul Stastny had the tying goal and two assists and Tyson Barrie scored 33 seconds into overtime to complete the rally that lifted the Colorado Avalanche to a 4-3 win over the Ottawa Senators on Wednesday night.
Jan Hejda and Jamie McGinn also scored for Colorado. The Avalanche were down 3-2 in the third and pressed for the tying goal. John Mitchell nearly tied it when his shot went off the inside of the right post. Stastny got the equalizer moments later when he deked goalie Craig Anderson and scored at 17:40.
In overtime, Stastny fed Barrie in front of the net and the defenseman buried the chance to give Colorado the win.
Clarke MacArthur had a goal and an assist, and Jason Spezza and Kyle Turris also scored and Ottawa.
Spezza, back after missing four games with a hip flexor injury, tied it with his 12th goal with 13 seconds left in the 5-on-3.
