INCREDIBLE LUCKY BOUNCE: Steven Lorentz fulfills childhood dream with game-winning goal after referee Kelly Sutherland falls down!
Have you ever dreamed of scoring a game-winning goal for your favorite team? That’s exactly what happened to hometown kid Steven Lorentz — and in the most unbelievable way possible! With the game tied 1-1 in the third period and Toronto shorthanded, a wild bounce off referee Kelly Sutherland’s fall led to Lorentz picking up the puck and scoring the winning goal against the Colorado Avalanche.
Lorentz, from Kitchener, Ontario, seized the chaotic moment and fired a laser over Avalanche goalie Mackenzie Blackwood. It was a surreal, emotional moment for the Maple Leafs forward who grew up a die-hard fan of the team. His shorthanded goal not only secured a crucial 2-1 victory for Toronto but also snapped Colorado’s 9-game point streak — pushing the Leafs into a tie for first in the Atlantic Division. Joseph Woll was outstanding in net with 38 saves, but this night belonged to Lorentz and one unforgettable bounce.
