In 2021, Mika Zibanejad tied an NHL record once shared by Bryan Trottier, a name Rangers fans would rather forget — making the achievement even sweeter.
On December 23, 1978 an NHL record for most points scored in a single period was established, and it was a feat that stood alone for just under 43 years. It was accomplished by a Hockey Hall of Fame forward, seven-time Stanley Cup champion, and failed head coach, and they made history when they scored three goals and added three assists for six points in the second period of what became a 9-4 victory against the New York Rangers.
