This Day in Hockey History

1920 - Malone sets NHL record with 7 goals

Quebec Bulldogs forward and Hockey Hall of Famer Joe Malone establishes an NHL record that has stood for 95 years, scoring seven goals in a 10-6 win over the Toronto St. Patricks.

Amazingly, Malone had an even more productive outing seven years prior to the NHL's official inception, scoring nine times in the 1913 Stanley Cup Final game.

Six players record six goals in a game after Malone, but none have more than five since Darryl Sittler in 1976. 

1991 - Quinn becomes 11th coach in Canucks history

Quinn coaches the Canucks to a 141-11-28 record in 280 games and wins the Jack Adams Award for the second time in his career during his first full season.
