On Thursday night, the Tampa Bay Lightning surprised their fans and the New York Rangers by scoring three goals in just 61 seconds. For a team that has been struggling a bit on offense to start the season, it was a bit of a surprise. As was the final score of 9-3. Three goals in just over a minute is pretty impressive, but it’s not a team record. In fact, it’s not even the second fastest they’ve scored three goals.
The record for the fastest three goals in Lightning history belongs to the 2007-08 squad that accomplished the feat in just 42 seconds.
