Flames 6, Canucks 5 (OT): Pointless chaos leads to two points

Sunday was, in every respect, a great day for hockey. Three NHL playoff games dominated Canadian television screens and gripped viewers to the final shot.
The New York Islanders started things off by defeating the Pittsburgh Penguins in overtime by a 4-3 score. The Minnesota Wild and Vegas Golden Knights subsequently also went to overtime, with former Flames goaltender Cam Talbot making 42 saves in a 1-0 shutout victory.
