Undoubtedly they keep the stat on it but I have not seen so many Overtime games in the first round. It must show there is a lot of parity.
Blue Jackets at Penguins in OT, this must be the 4th (3rd?) game so far since Thursday to go into OT.
In fact, Overtime games this Post-Season so far.
Wednesday:
Montreal at Tampa Bay
Thursday:
Chicago at St. Louis
Minnesota at Colorado
Friday:
Detroit at Boston
Saturday:
Chicago at St. Louis
Columbus at Pittsburgh
So in fact, 6 games in OT, that 1st Blackhawks at the Blues game was into its 3rd overtime, almost a game in itself of overtime minutes.
