The forward has done something we haven't seen in a long time in the NHL, if ever. It seem's like something that only Gretzky could have accomplished back in the 80's.
Timo Meier scored 5 goals for the San Jose Sharks, who just defeated the LA Kings 6-2.
This is the first time in Sharks history a player has scored five-goals in 1 game.
He still had an entire period to extend his 5-goal game, however he couldn’t score again.
Darryl Sittler of the Toronto Maple Leafs was the last player to score 6-goals in a game, all the way back on April 22, 1976 against the Boston bruins.
The most goals in a game is currently held by Joe Malone, who scored seven-goals in a single game. It happened back on January 31, 1920 between the Quebec Bulldogs and Toronto St. Patricks. It's stood for well over 100 years.
Meier, who leads the Sharks in points, now has 20 goals in 35 games so far this season.
