Welcome to NHL News Today. Two minutes of updates that matter to NHL fans, hit subscribe and stay connected. March 5 has delivered to iconic moments in National Hockey League history, especially around big scoring milestones. Back in 1969, Bobby Hull became the first player with 450 goal seasons after netting two in a tie. Marcel Dion hit 100 points for the Los Angeles Kings in 1977 and later became the first with eight such seasons. Mike Bossy notched his eighth straight 50 goal year in 1985, while stars like Jerry Curry and Paul Carrea reached 100 career. Goals on this date, assists have also shown brightly on March 5. Phil Esposito set a single season record with 63 in 1969. Wayne Gretzky grabbed his 1400th career assist in 1991, a mark still unmatched. D. Byserman broke the one team assist record in 2000, and just last year, Aaron Eckblad

passed a franchise mark for Florida defenseman. Coaches faced ups and downs, too. Toronto Firepad burns in 1996 after eight losses, while Terry Chris hit 100 wins with expansion Tampa Bay that night. Bruce Boudreau reached 400 fastest ever in 2016, and Barry Trots joined the 800 win club in 2019. Quebec Nordiques had epic nights, like Michelle Gleys, 50 goal hat trick in a 10-3 route in 1983, and Matt Sundine's five goals, and a 10-4 win ending a long road skid in 1992. Gordy Howe broke his own points record in 1953, and recent highlights include Connor Bedard hitting 25 rookie assists last year. Sydney Crosby reached 1200 points in 2019, and birthdays on our legends like Milt Schmitt. These moments remind us why March 5th stands out in hockey lore. Quick thanks to today's sponsor.
