1996 : The Pittsburgh Penguins win one of the wildest games in the history of the Stanley Cup Playoffs when Petr Nedved scores his second goal of the game at 19:15 of the fourth overtime for a 3-2 victory against the Washington Capitals at Capital Centre in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Quarterfinals.

The Penguins lose starting goalie Tom Barrasso after the first period with back spasms and trail 2-0, but tie the game on goals by Jaromir Jagr and Nedved. The Penguins also survive a game misconduct to Mario Lemieux late in the second period and a penalty shot by Washington's Joe Juneau at 15:44 of the second overtime -- Ken Wregget stops the first overtime penalty shot in Stanley Cup history.

Nedved ends the game and evens the series when he beats Olaf Kolzig with a slap shot from the left circle during the sixth power play awarded after regulation.
