Ranking the best OT, shootout winners from Wednesday's action

The NHL schedule featured a whopping 15 games Wednesday, with every team in action except for the St. Louis Blues.

Regulation wasn't enough for a handful of those contests, with varying degrees of excellence on display in deciding the eventual victors.

Here's how we rank the six shootout- and overtime-winning goals.

6. Turris making friends in Nashville

Playing in his sixth game for his new team, Nashville center Kyle Turris beat Montreal goalie Antti Niemi to help P.K. Subban get the better of his old mates.

Columbus' Josh Anderson found himself alone in front of the Calgary net, firing a Nick Foligno pass top shelf on Mike Smith.

3. Lightning get to the Point

Tampa Bay knows how to move the puck. The Lightning made good on an overtime power play with this slap pass from Steven Stamkos to Brayden Point, who made no mistake to cap a comeback win over Chicago.

Need an example of how well the @TBLightning can move the puck?

2. Boston's young defenseman gets offensive

It took 11 rounds and a rookie defenseman, but Boston prevailed over New Jersey thanks to this slick backhand effort from Charlie McAvoy.

1. Tavares' magic along the boards

Josh Bailey scored the goal, but what makes the Islanders' overtime winner so special is the work put in by John Tavares along the boards to make it happen. Even more impressive is the fact that the opposing player was Philadelphia's Sean Couturier, who could very well win a Selke Trophy one day.

Alone in front, a couple of tries and Josh Bailey ends it for the @NYIslanders. @EASPORTSNHL pic.twitter.com/BYlHSfk4Iz
