10. Why do NHL hockey games sometimes go into overtime?

Answer: The score is tied

In the regular season over time lasts five minutes, NHL games can't end in a tie in the playoffs, so the teams have to keep playing until there is a winner. One of the longest game ever played was in Montreal on March 24, 1956. It was game one of the semi-final round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs between Detroit and Montreal.

It ended when Detroit's Mud Bruneteau scored the games only goal in the sixth overtime period after 176 minutes and 30 seconds of game play.
