The Colorado Avalanche erased a 3-0 deficit in a dramatic 4-3 overtime win against the Minnesota Wild in Wednesday's Game 5 to punch their ticket to the Western Conference Final.

Brett Kulak scored the winner 3:52 into the extra frame off a great feed from Martin Necas.

The Avalanche will compete in the Western Conference Final against either the Vegas Golden Knights or the Anaheim Ducks. Vegas leads the series 3-2.

Nathan MacKinnon sent the game to overtime with a ridiculous snipe with 1:23 left in regulation. Jack Drury and Parker Kelly also scored for Colorado.
