Stanley Cup Final Overtime History

Heartbreaking Loss for Red Wings

Only twice has Game 7 of the Stanley Cup Final reached overtime. The Detroit Red Wings won both series, breaking the hearts of their opponents.

Pete Babando scored the Cup-winning goal in double overtime of Game 7 in 1950.

Since 1954, no Stanley Cup Final has been decided by a sudden-death overtime goal, despite numerous Game 7s.

In 2011, the Boston Bruins won the Stanley Cup for the first time in 39 years, becoming the first visiting team to record a shutout in Game 7.

NHL President Clarence Campbell called the 1950 Game 7 one of the best ever played.
