"I just saw lots of guys try shots. Remembered seeing a couple videos of him maybe biting on a fake in the prescouts, so I just went in and tried to watch for that, and it ended up working out. - Fraser Minten on his game-winning shootout goal"
"Clocking in at nine rounds, Saturday's shootout was the Capitals' longest since they fell to the Panthers after 20 rounds on December 16, 2014 - a game that still holds the NHL record for longest shootout. In that contest, however, the two teams combined for 11 total shootout goals, compared to the lengthy clean sheets of Thompson and Swayman."
"Per NHL Stats, no shootout has gone more than eight rounds without a goal since January 18, 2022, when the Islanders and Flyers went goalless until New York's Oliver Wahlstrom scored the game-winning goal in the ninth round of the shootout."
The Washington Capitals and Boston Bruins played to a tie in regulation, with Bruins defenseman Charlie McAvoy scoring twice to equalize the game. The contest proceeded to overtime and then a shootout, featuring star goaltenders Logan Thompson and Jeremy Swayman, both recent Olympic representatives. The shootout extended to nine rounds with both teams unable to score until rookie Fraser Minten broke through for Boston. The nine-round shootout marked the Capitals' longest since a 20-round marathon against the Panthers in 2014. Thompson and Swayman's combined shutout performance in the shootout was exceptional, with no NHL shootout going more than eight rounds without a goal since January 2022.
