5 of the playoffs’ best OT goals

Taking care of business and working overtime.

It's a refrain that has to be running through the minds of those participating in the 2017 Stanley Cup Playoffs, where 23 games have been decided past regulation.

Here's a look at five of the best goals scored in extra frames.

Kevin Fiala: Game 3 vs. Blackhawks (Round 1)

Prior to suffering a season-ending leg injury, Kevin Fiala of the Nashville Predators played the role of overtime hero in Game 3 against the Chicago Blackhawks with one of the nicest goals we've seen at any point during the postseason.

Tyler Bozak: Game 3 vs. Capitals (Round 1)

A first-round series between the Toronto Maple Leafs and Washington Capitals featured no fewer than five games settled in overtime, with Tyler Bozak's nifty deflection from the slot in Game 3 serving as a finisher to remember.

David Desharnais: Game 5 vs. Sharks (Round 1)

David Desharnais ended Game 5 between the Edmonton Oilers and the San Jose Sharks with a wicked one-timer, but the pass from Leon Draisaitl to set it up was equally as deadly.

Corey Perry: Game 5 vs. Oilers (Round 2)

Corey Perry capped an epic comeback for the Anaheim Ducks in Game 5 against the Oilers with a patient strike on Cam Talbot.

Kyle Turris: Game 5 vs. Rangers (Round 2)

Kyle Turris impressed in Game 5 against the New York Rangers by staying onside, tracking the puck following an initial shot that was blocked, kicking it up to his stick, and beating one of the best goalies in the world, Henrik Lundqvist.

All this and we're still only in the second round.
