Kozun made a right pad save on Remi Laurencelle on Everett’s first chance.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n In the second round of the shootout, Shea Theodore was denied by Hart at the left post and then Kozun stopped Kohl Bauml.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n Neuls came onto the ice with the chance to win the game and he did just that, beating Hart with a quick wrist shot over the glove.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n Barzal scored with 25 seconds left in the third period to tie the game 2-2 and send it to overtime. Kozun was pulled for an extra attacker with over two minutes left in the third period. The T-Birds had good pressure with the extra skater and Ryan Gropp was able to get the puck to Keegan Kolesar in the high slot. Kolesar took a wrist shot with Barzal in front of Hart. Barzal tipped the shot past Hart for tying goal.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n The T-Birds are now 29-20-3-4 and are in third place in the U.S. Division, three points behind the second-place Everett Silvertips and 11 points behind the first-place Silvertips.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n The T-Birds host the Victoria Royals at 5:05 p.m. Sunday at the ShoWare Center.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n Seattle went in front 1-0 at 9:08 of the first period.
