The Canucks made NHL history last night when they scored three goals in the final minute against the Stars to force overtime, where they ultimately won the game.

Three weeks removed from charting the NHL single-season hits mark, Kiefer Sherwood was a hero once again, helping the Vancouver Canucks finish off a comeback for the ages.
Sherwood scored the overtime game-winner on Tuesday night to earn an incredible 6-5 victory over the Dallas Stars.

Vancouver is the first team in history to win a game and score 3 goals in the last minute

Down 3-0 at the end of two periods and 5-2 with one minute left to play, the Canucks were finished. But Aatu Raty initiated the miracle with a goal at the 1:00 mark.
Pius Suter chipped in with two desperation goals, one at the 30-second mark and the tying one with just 5.2 seconds left.
Dallas had established its lead earlier on scores from Mavrik Bourque and Mikael Granlund, one of which was into the empty net. But even that wasn't enough to hold off the red-hot Canucks.
After Mikko Rantanen's slashing penalty in overtime, the Stars killed it off, but with the teams skating 4-on-4, Sherwood jammed in the winner with 1:16 left in OT.
"That's got to be one up there," Vancouver coach Rick Tocchet said. "I loved the fight, obviously, in the third period. To do that is a character win for a lot of guys, for the team.
The win kept Vancouver's playoff hopes alive and stung the Stars, who would have clinched second place in the Central Division and home ice in round one with a win.
Beyond the victory, the Canucks sent a powerful message to the rest of the NHL: never count a team out. No matter how much time is left or how big the deficit, the game isn't over until the final buzzer.
Their incredible fightback stands as a reminder that in hockey, belief and effort can change everything, even in 60 seconds.
