Notes

• The 1934 winner ended a series which was only a Best-of-Five series.
• The 1951 winner by Bill Barilko was his last goal ever. He died the following summer.
• Gerry McNeil is the only goaltender in history to have allowed two Cup-winning overtime goals, in 1951 and 1954.
• Twice in Stanley Cup history has a team won the Stanley Cup on an overtime series winner one season, and then lost the same way the next season. The Montreal Canadiens won the 1953 Stanley Cup in overtime, only to lose it the following year to Detroit. The Dallas Stars won the 1999 Stanley Cup on a controversial overtime goal, only to lose it the following year to New Jersey.
• The Red Wings have the distinction of being the only franchise ever to win the Stanley Cup in overtime in Game 7 of the series. They've actually accomplished this feat twice in both 1950 and 1954.
• The longest drought between Stanley Cup overtime series winners is 16 years, from 1980 to 1996.
• While only seven of the 16 overtime series winning goals have been scored by the visiting team, from 1996 to 2010, four consecutive overtime Cups were won by the road team. The streak was broken in 2014 by the Los Angeles Kings. The seven road winners took place in: 1940, 1966, 1977, 1996, 1999, 2000, and 2010.
• Bobby Orr, Bill Barilko, Uwe Krupp, and Alec Martinez are the only defensemen to score overtime series winners for the Stanley Cup.
