Baertschi lifts Canucks over Avalanche 4
Sven Baertschi
VANCOUVER  British Columbia (AP) —  Sven Baertschi  fired in a picture-perfect shot under pressure.
The Swiss forward scored 1:07 into overtime Tuesday night  ripping  his  11th goal of the season shortside over Jonathan Bernier's glove to give the Vancouver Canucks a 4-3 victory over the Colorado Avalanche.
"I didn't know I had that in my bag  to be honest "  Baertschi  said. "In overtime  it can go both ways. But I thought we really deserved it tonight."
 Baertschi  saluted the crowd in celebration  a tribute to the military personnel in attendance on a night when the Canucks honored members of the Canadian Forces.
"Half the time you almost faint after you score  it feels like "  he  said. "That's the first thing that popped in my head."
