Who scored the only goal in the longest NHL game in history (1936)?

Mud Bruneteau scored the only goal in the longest NHL game in history, the 1936 playoff marathon.\n\nOn March 24, 1936, Bruneteau’s Detroit Red Wings faced the Montreal Maroons at the Montreal Forum in Game 1 of a Stanley Cup semifinal series. The game remained scoreless through regulation and five overtime periods.\n\nBruneteau ended the contest at 16:30 of the sixth overtime, giving Detroit a 1–0 victory after 176 minutes and 30 seconds of playing time. The game began at 8:30 p.m. and finished at 2:25 a.m. the following morning.\n\nBruneteau was a 21-year-old rookie forward who had scored only two goals in 24 regular-season games before becoming an unlikely playoff hero. Detroit goaltender Normie Smith recorded the shutout, while Montreal’s Lorne Chabot allowed the deciding goal. The frequently confused names in this question—Syl Apps, Gordie Howe, and Maurice Richard—were not the scorer of this historic game.
