This historic game made its mark in sports history, lasting 176 minutes and 30 seconds.The hero of this marathon was Mud Bruneteau, whose lone goal 16:30 into the sixth overtime propelled the Red Wings to a 1-0 lead in the series. After this grueling battle, Detroit maintained its momentum and went on to sweep the series in a decisive four-game victory.This legendary match shattered the previous record set in 1933 when the Boston Bruins and Toronto Maple Leafs faced off in a six-overtime clash. That game lasted 164 minutes and 46 seconds during Game 5 of the 1933 semifinals.
