Who Was the Last Wing to Score Back to Back OT Goals?

I was thinking along those lines too...if I had to venture a guess it would be sometime back during the original 6 days if it has in fact happened

Did they have OT in the O-6 days, or was it just ties?

I was thinking of the playoffs when I said during the Original 6 days...sorry for the confusion

Just for kicks though, the Elias Sports Bureau lists Tom Poti, Rangers (Dec 29-30 2003), Sami Kapanen, Flyers (Dec 28-29 2005) and Jamie Langenbrunner, Devils (Jan 28-29 2009) as the last 3 players to record back to back OT winners

How are we defining this? To me, a player could have back-to-back OT goals, without the team having back-to-back OT games...

For example if Fedorov had the OT winner on a Wed night, on Friday the Wings won 5-1, and then on Saturday Fedorov had the OT winner... Fedorov would have scored back-to-back OT winners.

As long as there were no OT games between the first and second OT goals, the player has back-to-back OT winners. That would be my definition at least.

With this definition, it has likely happened more frequently.

No. My definition was two straight games going into OT, and the same player scoring in both OT's. Kind of like what Bertuzzi did.

Thanks for the info. The more I thought about this, I couldn't think of any NHL player who had done it, but it's good to see that it has been done, as recently as last season no less.
