[alko]

Nineteen-year-old Rasmus Dahlin (1-6—7 in 4 GP) has the most by a teenage defenseman through his team’s first four contests to begin a season in NHL history.
-------
The Oilers set an NHL record with their fifth straight come-from-behind win to start a season Saturday, a 4-1 victory against the New York Rangers at Madison Square Garden, and are 5-0-0 for the first time since 1985-86.
-------
With his goal today, Victor Olofsson became the first player in history whose first seven NHL goals were all scored on the PP. He had been tied with a few other players at 6. This record was loaded to 8 PP goals.
-------
The Los Angeles Kings may have dropped their third in a row Thursday night and fell to 2-5-0 on the season, but they set a world record during the first intermission.
The Kings’ game presentation department used 642 lasers as part of the Guinness Book of World Records “Largest Laser Show” at STAPLES Center. So, yeah, they were shutout, but they made history.
-------
Alex Ovechkin's has the most career power play goals scored on the road in NHL regular season history (125). And counting.
-------
With his 669th Ovechkin passed the great Luc Robitaille for the 1st place in the all-time LW goal-scoring list.

That’s the highest such total in NHL history by a player through his team’s first 13 games in a season.

Darryl Sittler for the most in NHL history (including overtime).

-------
Joe Thornton (1,600 GP) and Patrick Marleau (1,687 GP) became the first teammates in NHL history to play in the same game having 1,600 regular-season games on their resume.
-------
Joe Thornton was taken with the first-overall pick on June 21, 1997.
On Dec. 12, 2019, he became the first No. 1 overall pick in NHL history to appear in 1,600 career regular-season games.

These are mostly so obscure. Literally like "who can do a handstand, blindfolded, while aged 33, over a pit of lava, for 30 seconds or more, while singing a song."

That’s an interesting stat. I’d like to see who was able to do it on Saturday afternoon away games.

It's been a brainchild of mine for a while now. Get on board before it's too late.

ovechkin broke his own record for most rockets.

”Brad Marchand scored in the opening 15 seconds of a period for the seventh time in his career, surpassing
Darryl Sittler for the most in NHL history (including overtime).
-------
Brad Marchand is the only player in NHL history to score in the opening 15 seconds of a period on Seven occasions.

Guess we could also say ”Marchand is the only one to score with at least 19:45 remaining in a period 7 times” and
”Marchand scored with at least 19:45 remaining of a period for the seventh time, surpassing Darryl Sittler for the most in NHL history”

To get even more records of the exact same thing

Joe Thornton becomes only player in NHL history to reach 800 assists after being traded

Gretzky had 877 after being traded from Edmonton and Oates had 934 after being traded from DET.

Gretzky had 877 after being traded from Edmonton and Oates had 934 after being traded from DET.

And Recchi with 808 after being traded from the Penguins to the Flyers. As well as Dionne with 813 after being traded from Detroit to LA. The original stat isn’t too noteworthy. I suppose he meant all with one team?

I thought that Ovechkin becoming the highest-scoring left-winger and Thornton becoming the first first-overall pick to play 1,600 games were both significant milestones.

Toews taking the shootout scoring lead as well.

The rest are more like trivia than records.

Good catch, figured there were more but didn’t care to check lol.

Yeah assumed it meant with one team post trade but wasn’t stated and the rest seem to list every obscure qualification so whatever.

 

[Oheao]

I know that San Jose scored an empty-net goal at the end of the game in Washington, yet still lost at the end. That's the first time I ever remember that happening.

I think he meant it as in Thornton "reached" the 800-assist plateau after being traded, which (apparently) no one else did...?

But it's a bit weird. We could also say that Gretzky reached the 1,100 assist plateau after being traded....


It's unfortunate if the NHL does count the current 3-on-3 overtimes in terms of records like "fastest goal to start a period". 3-on-3 should not count as a period for scoring record purposes....

Not quite - Thornton reached his 800th assist with the Sharks (1089 total!). I think maybe the "record" is basically most assists with a team that wasn't your original team (assuming you've also been traded).

 

[JoVel]

Yeah these are not really records, just some rather useless trivia stuff that are made to sound impressive.

Yeah, taht should it be.

Common, record is still a record. I dont think, that Oveckin goals scoring or longevity from Chara, Thornton or Marleau is something, you will see by every player.

The Los Angeles Kings' Gabe Villardi set an NHL record on Thursday, Feb 20, 2020 for fastest first goal in NHL history, scoring within 10 seconds of his first shift. He beat the previous record held by Gus Bodnar for the Toronto Maple Leafs, which had stood since 1943.
