1972: Bruins goalie Gerry Cheevers shut out the Rangers, 3-0, in Game 6 of the Stanley Cup Final, giving Boston their second Cup in three seasons. The shutout was Cheevers' second of that playoff year and his fifth of his career.

The goal was one of two that Shuchuk, who scored 13 goals in a 143 regular-season games, would score in that playoff season and in his career. Two nights later, the King finished off the Canucks with a 5-3 win in Los Angeles.

1996: The Penguins eliminated the Rangers with a 7-3 win in Game 5 of their second-round series and Pittsburgh right wing Jaromir Jagr had a hat trick.
