Hockey fans got their first taste of a 10-minute overtime format during last night's Canada-Sweden game, and Connor McDavid and Nathan MacKinnon spoke on it. Mitch Marner became an instant history maker in dramatic fashion, scoring <a href='https://www.sportsnet.ca/nhl/article/crosby-further-cements-legacy-in-canadas-opening-win-over-sweden/' class='lien_marqueur' target='_blank' rel='noopener'>Canada's overtime victory over Sweden</a> during the first game of the 4 Nations Face-Off. <div align='center' class='pl20 pr20'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/NHL/status/1889906413213831248'> </a></blockquote></div> <a href='https://www.sportsnet.ca/nhl/article/4-nations-face-off-primer-everything-you-need-to-know/' class='lien_marqueur' target='_blank' rel='noopener'>But were it not under special rules introduced for the weekend</a>, his score would not have counted. For this contest, the NHL had added a 10-minute three-on-three overtime to give star players more time to settle the game before having to go to a shootout. <a href='https://www.nhl.com/mapleleafs/player/mitch-marner-8478483' class='lien_marqueur' target='_blank' rel='noopener'>Marner</a> took advantage, scoring the game-winner just over six minutes into the overtime. <h3>McDavid supports the 10-minute format</h3> After Canada's 4-3 win, <a href='https://www.nhl.com/oilers/' class='lien_marqueur' target='_blank' rel='noopener'>Edmonton Oilers</a> and Team Canada player Connor McDavid said he hopes the NHL brings the longer overtime format to the regular season. Based on how exciting this contest was, a lot of hockey fans probably would agree. I think it's a great kind of trial run, McDavid said of the 10-minute overtime. Something I think the players liked, the fans liked it. It felt a little more like it's in our hands. I don't think really anyone wants it to go to a shootout, so good thing we were able to find one there. <h3>MacKinnon doesn't like the 10-minute format</h3> Not everyone, however, is a fan. <a href='https://www.nhl.com/avalanche/' class='lien_marqueur' target='_blank' rel='noopener'>Colorado Avalanche</a>'s Nathan MacKinnon, Canada's first goal scorer, was not happy with the format. He said 10 minutes of three-on-three hockey is too long, and anything over seven minutes would be too long for regular-season NHL games. <div align='center' class='pl20 pr20'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/PierreVLeBrun/status/1889909128577061279'> </a></blockquote></div> Hockey fans and players will need a wait-and-see approach to see if this new format gets adopted into the regular season next year.
