Last playoff game with no shots on goal in a period?

[doubleminor138]

I know this fact is probably buried in the GDT, but I gave up archaeology for lent.

Does anybody know what game/series/teams were involved the last time a team put up no shots on goal in the playoffs? I thought it was the Leafs/Devils back in 2000, but nope....even with 6 shots on goal the whole game it was a 3/1/2 shots per period breakdown.

They mentioned it during the game last night and whoever it was that got zero shots off in a period won that one too.

Clowns between periods said it was the first time in 19 years so I assume that means it was the 1997-98 season.

#Bruins are the first team to win a playoff game when recording 0 shots on goal in any period since the Capitals on May 7, 1994 vs Rangers

Nice! Thanks. Not sure if there was another playoff game when a team recorded zero shots, win or lose.

Could've sworn Jack mentioned multiples times last night that it happened to Anaheim a few years ago, and they ended up winning.

Jack I think said the Ducks in 2014, a game they won against LA

Sportsnet is wrong. Jack was right.

Game 4. Ducks had zero shots in the second period (3 in third lol), and still won 2-0

I know it was a crap period and they were dam lucky Rask held down the fort for them,and wouldn't recommend trying it again.

It happened to the Bruins once before in 1939.

They went on to win the Stanley Cup

Thanks so very much my fine fellow HF-ers. I know you would come through for me!

And those three were on the PP. 0 even strength shots in over 40 minutes of play (discounting two dump-ins, their only even strength shot on goal in the last 50 minutes and 59 seconds of the game was the game-winning 1-0 goal). That's rough.

Didn't the Bruins land a shot on goal at the end of the period?

Can you imagine the Bruins losing a game that they dominated the other team like that? This place would blow up.
