6. Matt Carkner – 2010 First Round, Game 5 vs. Pittsburgh Penguins (3OT)

Importance: Even though it was only the first round, Carkner’s goal kept the Sens alive to force a Game 6 back in Ottawa. Bonus points for being a triple-overtime game. 6/10

Quality: Alfredsson makes a nice play to find Carkner coming into the zone and Carkner winds up and gets a good slapshot off that trickles in. While Carkner didn’t have too many memories with the team, the absurdity of the scorer makes this one even better. 5/10

The next step: The Sens would lose Game 6 to Pittsburgh, which would signal the end of the team’s first era of success. Ottawa would miss the playoffs the next season for only the second time since 1996. 2/10

Final Score: To be honest I thought this would rank higher based on being the only triple-overtime victory in team history, but a goal in a first-round series that the team lost can only rank so high. 13/30
