RALEIGH, N.C. -- Florida Panthers winger Matthew Tkachuk lets everyone know when it's time to leave the rink after scoring his overtime goals.
In Game 1 of the Eastern Conference finals against the Carolina Hurricanes, Tkachuk scored with 13 seconds remaining in quadruple overtime, the sixth-longest Stanley Cup playoff game in NHL history. In Game 2 on Saturday night, he needed only one minute and 51 seconds to score a power-play goal in the first overtime to give Florida a 2-0 series lead.
But after scoring both of those goals, he literally tells his team it's time to leave the rink: Tkachuk immediately and emphatically pointed toward the exit door of the rink, sprinting toward it and leading his team off the ice and to the dressing room for their celebration.
