Sorry, this is a bit obscure, but...
I happened to be looking back at the L.A. Kings' (disappointing) 1989-90 season tonight, and I noticed a curious stat re: Luc Robitaille, as follows:
-- On November 18th, 1989, the Kings beat Washington 5-3, with Robitaille scoring 2 goals and 2 assists, including the game-winner in the third period.
-- Next game: November 22nd, 1989, the Kings beat Chicago 6-3, with Robitaille scoring 1 goal and 2 assists, including the game-winner in the third period.
-- Next game: November 25th, 1989, the Kings beat Vancouver 7-4, with Robitaille scoring a hat-trick, including the game-winner at the end of the second period.
Consequently, Robitaille scored three game-winning goals in three consecutive games. I'm just wondering: How rare is this? Had anybody ever scored more than three such goals "in a row"?
I would guess the statistical odds of anybody beating Robitaille's three-straight are very low, especially in the post-expansion, 4-line type of NHL with more players-per-team on the ice. But I wouldn't rule it out, either.
Anyone?
