Memorable Mats Sundin Playoff Goals - May 28th 2002

It is the 2002 Eastern Conference Finals between the NHL's Toronto Maple Leafs and Carolina Hurricanes. The winner of the series heads to the Stanley Cup Finals for a chance to compete for Lord Stanley.

The Maple Leafs are down 3-2 in the series heading back to the Air Canada Center facing elimination in Game 6. It's 0-0 in the third period until Carolina's Jeff O'Neill puts one past Leafs goalie Curtis Joseph. Time is clicking down with less than a minute to go in the third period, elimination is becoming more of a reality for the Toronto Maple Leafs as they desperately need a goal to send the game to OT and avoid being knocked out.

Maple Leafs head coach Pat Quinn pulls goaltender Curtis Joseph and sends out Tomas Kaberle, Bryan McCabe, Darcy Tucker, Gary Roberts, Alexander Mogilny and Mats Sundin on the ice as they get ready for one of the most heated shifts in their NHL careers to help keep the Maple Leafs Stanley Cup dream alive.
