"Bro I have a feeling you are gonna get in these next games and score a huge goal. Like massive," Bennett said in a text to Bortuzzo, his friend and former teammate.
Bennett posted a screenshot of their text conversation to his Twitter account Tuesday, one day after Bortuzzo's second-period goal against the San Jose Sharks lifted the Blues to a 4-2 victory in Game 2 and evened the best-of-seven Western Conference Final with San Jose at 1-1.
Bortuzzo and Bennett were roommates with the Pittsburgh Penguins. Bennett joined the Blues for six games during the 2017-18 season but spent 60 games with the AHL affiliate Chicago Wolves.
Now all we can think about is that climb-over-the-glass series-clinching goal celly. We'd sure love to see something like that, bro.
