Last night a friend and I were discussing various records in the NHL. One
of the records was who has scored the most goals in one game? I mean one
player. I am sure Gretzky or Lemieux have scored at least 5 but what is
the most?

What a coincidence. I actually asked this as a trivia question about 2 weeks
ago. Well, the answer is:

The most goals in one game was SEVEN, scored by Joe Malone of the Quebec
Bulldogs. The Bulldogs beat Toronto 10-6 on Jan. 31st, 1920, and the red-faced
goalie was Ivan Mitchell.

Something of interest to note: only 21 days earlier, Mitchell
had given up FOURTEEN goals in a game to Montreal, in which Newsy Lalonde
scored SIX himself, final score being 14-7. According to the retired goalie's
index, Mitchell only played 21 games in 3 seasons for Toronto. I guess know
we know why. So much for pathos.

For the curious, the other Six-Goal-In-A-Game Scorers were Joe Malone, Corb
Denneny, Cy Denneny, Syd Howe, Red Berenson, and Daryl Sittler. Sittler's
feat in 1976 was the last time anyone's scored six.

Didn't Darrel Sittler score 7? I know Sittler holds the record for
most points in one game -- 7 goals and 5 assists, I thought. Please
correct me if I'm wrong.

I read from a newspaper years ago that Lemieux had score 5 goals against
New Jersey in 1988. Those 5 goal were all of different types.
An even strength goal, a power play goal, a short-handed goal,
a penalty shot and an empty-net goal. All possible types of goals
had been scored by Mario in one game. Since I forgot the source of this news
and I did not watch hockey until 1989, would someone confirm about this?
