Panthers Beat Capitals In Longest Shootout In NHL History
http://deadspin.com/panthers-beat-capitals-in-nhl-record-20-round-shootout-1672085013The Panthers beat the Capitals 2-1 tonight, but to get the full two points they had to win the longest shootout in NHL history (The previous longest lasted 15 rounds).
