History

Historical Context

In 1994 the New York Rangers broke a 54-year Stanley Cup drought by winning Game 7 2-1 over the Vancouver Canucks, with Brian Leetch’s first-period goal, Mike Richter’s 31 saves and Stephane Matteau’s double-OT winner; earlier that spring Messier’s guarantee had sparked the comeback against the New Jersey Devils. The 2024 Carolina Hurricanes’ overtime rally echoes that late-game shift.
