On this date in 1976, Steve Vickers set a franchise record that has stood for over 40 years. The fourth year left winger went out and scored seven points in one game, the most ever for anyone who has played for the New York Rangers.
Vickers had three goals and four assists as the Rangers blew out the Washington Capitals, 11-4 at Madison Square Garden.
