Game-winner in triple OT!

We all know how intense playoff hockey is. That’s amplified so much more when it goes to sudden death overtime, and that’s what happened back in 2016 in Game 4 of a playoff series with the San Jose Sharks.

The Sharks have always been a thorn in the side of the Predators in the playoffs, and this series was no different.

But this was the first time that the Predators had the talent on the roster to contend for not only a series win over the Sharks, but also to make a run at the Stanley Cup.

This game went to three overtimes before Mike Fisher finally ended it by getting a puck past San Jose netminder Martin Jones. It was over halfway through the third overtime period as well, so both teams were completely gassed at this point.

Mattias Ekholm and Colin Wilson assisted on the massive goal to send the Nashville fans in hysteria as the series was tied back up at two games apiece.

Another overtime win would happen in Game 6 for the Predators, but they’d ultimately fall to the Sharks in Game 7. They were just completely depleted of energy after essentially playing an extra game in Game 4.

Even so, a home playoff win in triple overtime by Fisher of all players is good enough to crack the list. And it happened in front of the home fans.
