Awesome, thanks a lot! Do you happen to know the same for the playoffs? I'm not sure I recall many 5 point games happening there though.
Yep. No one else even has a 7 point game. Even Crosby is the only one I remember with 6, not sure who else did that. Gagner is right up there with Sittler for 1 game wonders.

Unfortunately Alfredsson had a 7 Point game back in 2007-08
Oh yeah you're right, I forgot about that. Pretty sure he had a hat trick and 4 assists?

The last few years it seems Seguin and Benn have 3-4 points every other night, they'll be up there soon enough

For real? That's insane if that's true. That would mean he had as many 5 point games in one season as anyone has had in the past 11 seasons besides Crosby.

"Wanna go, Prettyboy?"
Yeah, wow. He even had another 4 point game. It would be interesting to see now how far you would have to go back when another player did this. I'm guessing one of Jagr's or Lemieux's seasons.
According to Jagr's game logs the most 5 point games he had in a season was 2 in 99/00. Even in 95/96 he only had 1. Lemieux had 6 that year.

Wow. Now I feel ashamed. I looked it up and somehow just managed to miss one.
It's fine if I had just gone off by memory. But I actually dug up the games and counted the games. Seems like I can't count to 4
