If you love overtime, you're in luck because there's a whole lot of it come Stanley Cup playoffs time. There are no 3-on-3 overtime periods or shootouts to be found at this time of year.
Every postseason features thrilling overtime finishes, but while many of them are decided within a few minutes of extra time, some need a lot more than even one overtime period.
These are the 10 longest overtime games in Stanley Cup playoffs history.
