Marian Hossa, the overtime demigod

Hossa is already awesome, but he's on another level when it comes to overtime.

With that goal, Marian Hossa propelled the Chicago Blackhawks to victory, scoring the 12th overtime winner of his career. And hey, what would you know: that 12th OT winner is fifth out of all active NHL players.

That's really good company to be in. Of course, most of the guys on the list are older players; after all, you're more likely to have scored in overtime the longer you've played in the NHL.

Hossa definitely isn't, say, Jaromir Jagr, but if he plays out the rest of his contract (and assuming Jagr retires at some point before then), he could end up being the reigning active overtime scorer before he retires (upon which the record wouldn't count because, well, he wouldn't be active).
