Goal vs WSH | Overtime | Jun 11, 1998

In Game 2 of the 1998 Stanley Cup Final, Kris Draper delivered a thrilling overtime game-winner against the Washington Capitals, giving the Detroit Red Wings a commanding 2-0 series lead. The play unfolded deep in the offensive zone, where a battle for the puck led to an errant clearing attempt by Washington. The puck ricocheted off Brendan Shanahan and landed on Martin Lapointe’s stick. As Draper curled from behind the net toward the slot, Lapointe spotted him and threaded a quick pass. Draper redirected the puck into the net, igniting an eruption of cheers from the home crowd. It was Draper’s first goal of the postseason, a fitting highlight for a player renowned for his speed and defensive prowess rather than his scoring touch. Draper’s illustrious career included winning the Selke Trophy in 2003-04 and capturing four Stanley Cup championships, all with the Red Wings, where he spent his final 17 NHL seasons.
