Three goals in three minutes. All with the net empty.
The Edmonton Oilers were up 3-0 with play winding down in the third period of Game 5 against Anaheim. Then the Ducks decided they wanted to play some extra time.
Ryan Getzlaf, Cam Fowler, and Rickard Rakell scored in a span of three minutes - with Rakell's tying marker coming with 15 seconds to play - to send Game 5 to overtime.
Rakell's goal was reviewed to determine if Cam Talbot was interfered with, but the call on the ice stood.

Talbot deserved a better fate in regulation. He stopped 41 of 44 shots, including 19 of 22 in the third period.
Here are all three goals:
