Even off the ice, Jannik Hansen moves as fast as anybody on skates.
The Vancouver Canuck winger hustled out of the medical room, fresh stitches in his forehead, and on to the ice in overtime, then scored the winner as his injury-depleted team beat the Edmonton Oilers 2-1 tonight for its first OT victory since the National Hockey League went to three-on-three in the extra period.
The Canucks were 0-7-4 in overtime before tonight (2-2 in shootouts) before Hansen sped down open-ice on right wing and ripped a slapshot past Oiler goalie Cam Talbot at 4:01 of overtime.
