Rangers Mika Zibanejads five-goal game adds to NHL

Hat tricks are fun. Five-goal games are better.Thursday night,Mika Zibanejad potted a whole handful of goals in the New York Rangers' 6-5 overtime win over the Washington Capitals. The performance wasquite an impre sive showon one of the biggest stages po sible  on Broadwayin front of a rabid fan base, with a playoff spot inches away  Jose Canseco Jersey andagainst a big-time rival.While it hasn't been too long since the last five-goal game, it's always a big-time moment that is heralded around the league; after all, only 45 players have accomplished the feat a total of 61 times.Here are some interesting nuggets regarding the mythical games of five or moregoals.Who had the last five-goal game?Winnipeg Jets forward Patrik Laine scored five last season against the St. Louis Blues goalie Joe Morgan Jersey  tandem of Chad Johnson and Jake Allen.While that's a short time frame between big-goal games, it had been 24 years since a five-goal game included the game-winner (Zibanejad's fifth came 33 seconds in OT).Detroit Red Wings starSergei Fedorov accomplished the feat in 1996  also against the Capitals.Zibanejad scored his five goals against one netminder,Ilya Samsonov. The last time a player victimized a single goalie  2007, when the Minnesota Wild's Marian Gaborik scored five against the Rangers' Henrik Lundqvist.There hasbeen one  Walt Weiss Jersey other five-goal game on March 5; in 1992, fellow Swede, Hall of Famer and then-Quebec Nordique Mats Sundin netted five against the Hartford Whalers in his team's 10-4 win.Most recent five-goal gamesDATETEAMPLAYERGOALSNov. 24, 2018Winnipeg JetsPatrik Laine5Feb. 2, 2011Detroit Red WingsJohan Franzen5Dec. 20, 2007Minnesota WildMarian Gaborik5Dec. 26, 1996Detroit Red WingsSergei Fedorov5March 26, 1996Pittsburgh PenguinsMario Lemieux5Who has scored the most goals in a game?While it hasn't been that long since the last five-goal game, it hasbeen more than 44 years since Darryl Sittler famously scored six goals (and 10 points) for the Toronto Maple Leafs against the Boston Bruins.While six is a lot, it'snot the biggest number.
