Stars, Blues make history as 3rd Game 7 to reach OT in single playoff year

With Game 7 between the Dallas Stars and St. Louis Blues requiring extra time to decide their second-round series Tuesday night, three win-or-go-home affairs in these playoffs have required overtime.

That's the most ever in a single playoff year, according to the league.

The San Jose Sharks rallied amid controversy to stun the Vegas Golden Knights in Game 7 of their first-round matchup, and the Carolina Hurricanes eliminated the Washington Capitals in double overtime of Game 7 in their opening-round series.
