Forsberg made a backhand pass from below the goal line to O'Reilly in the slot and his one-timer hit the left post, banked off the arm of Saros, hit the bottom of the crossbar and then banked off Saros' back and across the goal line for his 18th goal of the season.

Dermott scored 42 seconds later when his slap shot sailed through traffic and hit the net for the defenseman's second goal of the season, tying it 1-1 at 13:10.
