Jean-Luc Foudy scored with 10:07 gone in overtime to give the Colorado Eagles a 6-5 victory over the Stockton Heat in Game 3 of the Pacific Division Finals on Friday night in Loveland, Colo.
Colorado still trails the best-of-five series, two games to one, and will host Game 4 on Sunday evening.
Setting up behind his own net, Jordan Gross sent a pass 115 feet to the Stockton blue line, where Foudy snuck behind the defense, came in alone on Dustin Wolf and beat him with a backhand for his second OT winner of the postseason.
The Eagles, facing elimination after being shut out by Wolf in Games 1 and 2, erased deficits of 3-1, 4-3 and 5-4 and then killed off a Heat power play in overtime before pulling out the win.
Dylan Sikura recorded three points for Colorado, with his second goal of the night tying things up with just 3:08 remaining in regulation.
Kiefer Sherwood had a goal and an assist, and Shane Bowers and Ryan Wagner also scored for the Eagles. Gross finished with four assists on the night, and Justus Annunen (6-2) made 37 saves.
Matthew Phillips led Stockton with two goals and an assist. Jakob Pelletier added a goal and an assist, and Walker Duehr and Martin Pospisil also scored.
Wolf (5-1), who had allowed a total of seven goals over his first five playoff starts, turned aside 32 of 36 shots on Friday.
