1976: Darryl Sittler of the Toronto Maple Leafs has the greatest single-game offensive performance in NHL history when he scores six goals and assists on four others for a 10-point night in an 11-4 victory against the Boston Bruins at Maple Leaf Gardens.

Sittler assists on first-period goals by Lanny McDonald and Ian Turnbull, scores three goals and sets up two by Borje Salming in the second and completes his historic performance by scoring three goals in the third.

The Toronto captain breaks the NHL single-game record of eight points held by Maurice Richard and Bert Olmstead.

1933: George Hainsworth and the Montreal Canadiens defeat the Maple Leafs 2-0 at the Forum. It's Hainsworth's 71st shutout, moving him past Alec Connell for the most in NHL history.

1956: Gordie Howe becomes the first member of the Detroit Red Wings and the third player in NHL history to score 300 goals. He reaches the milestone with a first-period power-play goal in Detroit's 3-2 victory against the Chicago Blackhawks at Olympia Stadium. The goal comes against Al Rollins, Howe's victim on goal No. 200.

Exactly nine years later, Howe becomes the first player in NHL history to score 100 goals against every opposing team. He scores No. 100 against the Canadiens during a five-goal second period in a 6-0 victory at Olympia Stadium.

1971: Bobby Hull scores his 544th NHL goal, tying Maurice Richard for second in NHL history behind Howe. It's the only goal in the Chicago Blackhawks' 1-0 win against the Pittsburgh Penguins at Chicago Stadium. Tony Esposito makes 28 saves for his 22nd NHL shutout.

1985: Mike Bossy scores three goals for his NHL-record 33rd hat trick, helping the New York Islanders defeat the New York Rangers 7-5 at Nassau Coliseum. Bossy scores once in each period and breaks the record for NHL hat tricks held by Phil Esposito.
