Original Toronto Star caption: With 126 Seconds left to play; Team Canada's Paul Henderson lies sprawled in front of the Russian net with a Soviet defenceman wrapped around his legs after scoring the winning goal in yesterday's game to even the hockey series between Canada and Russia at three wins apiece and one draw. The puck hits the net high behind Soviet goalie Vladislav Tretiak (right). It was the best goal of my life; Henderson said later. The win gives Canada a chance to win the first world series of hockey. Henderson is series' leading shooter with six goals.
