The Penguins overcome three one-goal deficits against the determined Devils and even the series on a spectacular goal by rookie Jaromir Jagr 8:52 into overtime. With his team being outshot 7-1 in the extra frame, Jagr came down the right wing in the Devils zone, cut in front of the net and held the puck with his long reach long enough to get goalie Chris Terreri to go down, before flipping the puck over him into the yawning cage. Game over, 5-4 Pens.
“For 19 years old, he sure showed a lot of patience with the puck,” commented Pens goalie Tom Barrasso. “Not too many guys could duplicate that play in that situation.”
The overtime almost didn’t take place. A shot from Brendan Shanahan from 25 feet out with 1:05 left in the third beat Barrasso – but not his best friend the goalpost. It was off to overtime and Jagr’s eventual heroics, which you can see here.
