Today's Hero of the Game:
Leonid Kofix. Not only did Kofix net the equalizer with 20 seconds left in the game, he also scored Anaheim's 2nd goal to tie the game at 2 early in the 3rd period AND picked up the primary assist on the overtime game winner. Not one but two clutch power play goals by the big Canadian as well as a brilliant pass to end the night, he really put the Outlaws on his back to get them back into this game and wouldn't take no for an answer. Kofax had a night to remember tonight and is hopefully setting the stage for what could be a great season for Anaheim.

Turning Point of the Game:
With all that said about our first star, the true turning point in this game was the first goal by Rath McLeod that came on a power play early in the 2nd period. This was kind of a broken play where Anaheim was changing after dumping the puck in, St Louis gathered up the loose puck but rookie Rhys Pritchard made a heads up play to intercept a pass and keep the puck in the offensive zone. He dished the puck over to Kevin Robinson who couldn't quite handle the heat the rookie had put on the pass and the puck trickled into the slot where McLeod was there to get off a quick shot to beat Doyle to his glove side. Just a heads up play by McLeod being in the right place at the right time.

Difference Maker of the Game:
Tonight's difference maker of the game goes to the entire Anaheim power play unit. They got eight chances tonight but the capitalized on three of them, especially as mentioned above when it mattered most. St Louis didn't appear to have an answer for what Anaheim could bring with the man advantage. Their passes with crisp and they found good lanes to set up quality scoring opportunities and most importantly, the Outlaw skill players finished the job. I don't know if Anaheim will convert powerplays at this kind of clip all year, but if they're going to posses this kind of skill with the man advantage, opposing teams would be wise to stay out of the box against these guys.
