The opening contest of the NHL's conference finals didn't want to end. After nearly seven full periods of hockey, the Florida Panthers prevailed over the Carolina Hurricanes with just under 13 seconds remaining in quadruple overtime.

Here's a look at some notable numbers coming out of a marathon Game 1 in Raleigh.

0 - Paul Stastny was the lone player to not record a shot on goal in 24:11 of ice time. The 37-year-old scored the Hurricanes' overtime-winner in Game 6 of their first-round series against the New York Islanders.

1:58 - Game 1 ended at 1:58 a.m. local time, five hours and 48 minutes after it started at 8:10 p.m.

2 - Matthew Tkachuk ended the contest with his second overtime goal of these playoffs. He also scored the game-winner in Game 5 versus the Boston Bruins in the opening round. Only three players have ever scored three OT winners in a single postseason: Corey Perry in 2017, Maurice Richard in 1951, and Mel Hill in 1939.

5 - Florida remains undefeated in five overtime contests during these playoffs. The Panthers became the third team in NHL history to win their first five OT games in a postseason, joining the 2003 Anaheim Ducks and 2011 San Jose Sharks.

7 - The Panthers extended their postseason road winning streak to seven games. That's tied for the second longest in playoff history (with six other teams), only behind the 2012 Los Angeles Kings, who won 10 straight.

39 - Frederik Andersen made 39 saves in overtime. That's tied for the fourth most since 1955-56, only behind Joonas Korpisalo (46 in 2020), Ron Tugnutt (42 in 2000), and Jean-Sebastien Giguere (40 in 2003).

50 - Sergei Bobrovsky is the third goaltender since 1955-56 to record 50-plus saves in consecutive playoff games. Only Juuse Saros in 2021 and Curtis Joseph in 1993 previously accomplished the feat. Bobrovsky stopped 50 in Game 5 against the Toronto Maple Leafs and 63 in this series opener.

57:27 - Brandon Montour logged a game-high 57:27, the 10th most by a player since 1997-98 when ice time began to be recorded. Montour played more in Game 1 than teammate Zac Dalpe has totaled in nine postseason contests.

63 - Bobrovsky's 63 saves are the most in Panthers postseason history, surpassing John Vanbiesbrouck's 55-save performance in Game 4 of the 1996 Stanley Cup Final. The total is tied for 10th most in a playoff game and is the most since Jake Oettinger's 64 saves in Game 7 against the Calgary Flames last year.

139:47 - It took 139:47 to find a winner, making the game the sixth longest in NHL history and the longest either team has ever played.

1951 - Game 1 was the first conference finals contest to go to quadruple overtime since Game 1 between the Montreal Canadiens and Detroit Red Wings in 1951. Just like the Panthers, the Canadiens won the contest away from home on a goal from their star player - Maurice Richard.
