Minnesota Wild's coach John Hynes pulled goalie Fleury in overtime, resulting in Matt Boldy's winning goal and avoiding a point loss.

The move paid off when Matt Boldy scored the winning goal just 20 seconds after Fleury left the net. If the Predators had scored into the vacant net, the Wild would have lost the point already gained by being tied at the end of regulation time.
