It Was One of Those Nights for the NHL's Big Guns

For 82 nights each season, it's not just another day at the office.

Nothing can be taken for granted.

Especially after a rock 'em, sock 'em game goes into overtime. It's tough enough just getting there, battling for what could be a crucial point in the standings come springtime.
