3. 22 Seconds

Matt Dumba‘s overtime goal against the Flames last Tuesday came just 22 seconds into the overtime frame. That’s the fastest road OT goal in franchise history, besting a Marian Gaborik goal scored 25 seconds into an overtime game.

With that goal, Dumba joins Filip Kuba (2001) and Kurtis Foster (2005) as the only rookie defensemen to score an OT game-winner. It’s been ten years since the last one.
