Answer: Chris Tamer

Chris Tamer was charged with a delay of game penalty when he dislodged the Penguins net from its moorings, setting up the first overtime penalty shot in NHL post-season history. Joe Juneau's attempt slid off of his stick and was turned aside by Wregget to keep the game going.

It took over 40 more minutes before the game was decided. Petr Nedved took advantage of a Jim Johnson penalty late in the fourth OT and beat an exhausted Olaf Kolzig at 2:15 am to give Pittsburgh a 3-2 victory. www.pittsburghpenguins.com
