There's a lot of room out there in three-on-three overtime. Especially on international ice at the World Hockey Championship.
Swiss forward Fabrice Herzog - a fifth-round draft pick of the Toronto Maple Leafs in 2013 - made the most of all that real estate Saturday, dancing around Canadian defenseman Chris Lee before unleashing a filthy backhand - one that Mats Sundin would have been proud of - upstairs past Calvin Pickard.
What a goal. And what a 3-2 comeback win for Switzerland.
