Yes there is overtime in every single playoff game if needed until a winner comes out

The last time a game 7 overtime was in 1954, the detroit red wings being the victors
No the Stanley Cup has never been decided by a shoot-out. It is actually impossible because in the Stanley Cup Playoffs overtime has a different format from the regular season. In the playoffs when a game is tied at the end of regulation (3x20 min periods and score tied) the teams enter sudden death overtime (which means the first team to score wins), but the overtime is very similar to regulation play. The teams skate 5-on-5 like a normal period and the periods are 20 mins long, also like a normal period. The game continues until one team scores. This means that theoretically if no one scored the game would go on forever. The most recent memory that comes to mind is the 1996 Stanley Cup Final where Uwe Krupp of the Colorado Avalanche scored the cup-clinching overtime goal in the third period of overtime (the sixth period of the game).
No, they were eliminated by the Vancouver Canucks in the first round, in game 7, 5:22 in overtime.
The Dallas Stars won the Stanley Cup in 1998 -99 against the Buffalo Sabres in game 6 with the Stanley Cup winning goal scored by Brett Hull in overtime
The longest NHL game was played March 24, 1936 between the Montreal Maroons and the Detroit Red Wings in the semifinals of the Stanley Cup playoffs. The game went five full overtime periods and 16:30 into the sixth overtime period before Mud Bruneteau scored for Detroit to give them a 1-0 victory. Total time of the game was 176 minutes, 30 seconds.
Overtime was implemented in the 1974 season for regular season games. Before that there was no overtime to break a tie in a regular season game. Of course, playoff games have always had overtime.

Patrick Kane scored the Stanley Cup game winning goal in Game 6 against the Philadelphia Flyers at the 15:56 mark in Overtime. It was one of the most controversial endings to a Stanley cup game in recent memory
