The Colorado Eagles defeated the Ontario Reign 5-4 in overtime on Tuesday night in its first play-in game of the Pacific Division Playoffs at FivePoint Arena in Irvine, California.
Rookie defenseman Justin Barron ended the contest at 9:00 of OT with a wrist shot during a rush up the ice to keep the Colorado Avalanche's American Hockey League affiliate's playoffs alive. It was the first game-winning goal of Barron's pro career, and he also added two assists in the outing.
