Buffalo Sabres star Tage Thompson tied the NHL record for goals scored in a single period on Wednesday night, as he put four past the Columbus Blue Jackets in the very first period.
Thompson has been on fire for the Sabres this season, scoring 21 goals in just 26 games. His tally got a nice bump against the Blue Jackets, as he scored five times in a stunning 9-4 win.
The 25-year-old tied the record for goals scored in a single period, and became only the fourth NHL star to achieve that in the first period of the game. He had been on the ice for less than six minutes but scored four goals, grabbed an assist, and even managed an extra three shots on goal.
