Peter Joseph Babando (born May 10, 1925) is a former National Hockey League player who skated for the Boston Bruins, Detroit Red Wings, Chicago Black Hawks, and New York Rangers.
He was born in Braeburn-Lower Burrell, Pennsylvania and raised in South Porcupine, Ontario.
During six NHL seasons, Babando scored 86 goals, 73 assists (for 159 points) in 351 regular season games.
On April 23, 1950, in Game 7 of the Stanley Cup finals, he scored the Cup-clinching goal as a member of the Red Wings, to eliminate the New York Rangers at 8:31 of the second overtime.
As of 2019, it remains the only Game 7 of the Stanley Cup final to go multiple overtimes.
At the time he was one of the few American-born players in the NHL.
The goal was the third and final Stanley Cup playoff goal in Babando's career.
About three months later, Babando was traded to the Chicago Blackhawks as part of a nine-player deal.
Babando was also a member of the Clinton Comets of the Eastern Hockey League.
