Chris Clark snatched victory for the Washington Capitals in the 11th round of the shootout as they saw off the New York Islanders 5-4.
Alexander Semin had three goals on the night for the Capitals, two in regulation and a third in the shootout.
Washington had come back into the game after allowing a 1-0 lead to become a 3-1 deficit early on.
Ken Hitchcock is likely to remember his 1,000th game as an NHL coach for all the wrong reasons after seeing his Columbus Blue Jackets routed 9-1 by the Detroit Red Wings.

Ryan Miller was the star of the show for the Buffalo Sabres as he killed a five-minute penalty and recorded 28 saves in a 3-1 win over the Edmonton Oilers.
The Sabres got goals from Drew Stafford, Steve Montador and Jochen Hecht as they extended their winning streak against Edmonton to four games.
Martin Brodeur did a similar job to Miller for the New Jersey Devils, killing a key penalty and making 31 saves as they beat the Anaheim Ducks 3-1 to make it six straight wins.
Randy Jones marked his Los Angeles Kings debut with a goal and an assist in a 5-2 win over the struggling Carolina Hurricanes, who are now without a win in 13 games.
Patrick Sharp's goal in the third round of the shootout gave the Chicago Blackhawks a 3-2 win over the Colorado Avalanche.
