The Washington Capitals and New York Islanders played one of the more memorable games in NHL history on the night before Easter Sunday in 1987. It was Game 7 of the Patrick Division semifinal. The winner would advance; the loser would be eliminated.
Goalies Bob Mason and Kelly Hrudey battled for 128:47 before Pat LaFontaine scored on a long rebound in the fourth overtime to allow these exhausted teams to finally stop playing.
Mason made 72 saves in a losing cause, in a game that began at about 7:35 p.m. and ended the next morning at 1:58 a.m.
