This has only happened TWICE in NHL history

Pulling the goalie in 3 on 3 overtime, NOT something you see everyday! I could only find 3 examples in NHL history before today. Oilers Canucks on April 7th of 2000, Blue Jackets Kings on March 25th of 2003 and Bruins Kings on October 28th of 2017. However, only the Kings had ever actually won in OT pulling a goalie. Little fact, when you pull a goalie in OT and you loose the game to an empty netter like the first two examples, you not only lose the game but you also lose the extra point you would have had.

Rule: 84.2 A team shall be allowed to pull its goalkeeper in favor of an additional skater in the overtime period. However, should that team lose the game during the time in which the goalkeeper has been removed, it would forfeit the automatic point gained in the tie at the end of regulation

So today, as the Minnesota Wild hosted the Nashville Predators, we saw NHL history! A desperate Wild team pulled Marc Andre Fleury in overtime and WON! It was a crazy game with 2 fights, big saves and of course, the pulling of a goalie in OT. I cover it all in todays NHL video!
