This one needed a lot of extra time to decide.
In the end, the New York Islanders took Game 5 from the Florida Panthers thanks to a double overtime power-play goal off the stick of Alan Quine.
Quine, 23, appeared in only two regular-season games for the Islanders, and now has a goal and an assist in five playoff appearances.
This one, however, will be tough to beat.
The Islanders now hold a 3-2 series lead, with Game 6 to be played back in Brooklyn on Sunday.
Thomas Greiss was a beast for the Islanders, stopping 47 of 48 shots, including a penalty shot in OT.
