THIS DATE IN HISTORY: Nov. 5
1955: Jean Beliveau scores all four goals for the Montreal Canadiens in a 4-2 win against the Boston Bruins. Three of the four are power-play goals and all are scored on the same penalty, in a span of 44 seconds; under the rules at the time, a penalized player has to serve his entire minor penalty.
The NHL changes the rule for the 1956-57 season, allowing a penalized player to return to the ice if a goal is scored.
Montreal's Bert Olmstead assists on each of Beliveau's power-play goals for the second-fastest three assists in NHL history.
MORE MOMENTS
1936: Two future Hockey Hall of Famers make their NHL debuts for the Toronto Maple Leafs. Center Syl Apps and goaltender Turk Broda play in their first game, a 3-1 loss to the Detroit Red Wings at Maple Leaf Gardens. They are teammates on three Stanley Cup championship teams with Toronto.
1942: Carl Liscombe of the Detroit Red Wings sets an NHL record with seven points in a 12-5 victory against the visiting New York Rangers. Liscombe has his second hat trick and four assists. Six of Detroit's goals come on the power play, setting a team record.
1979: Michel Larocque makes 32 saves for his 14th NHL shutout and Guy Lafleur scores twice in the third period to help the Montreal Canadiens defeat the Washington Capitals 2-0 at the Forum. The win gives the Canadiens an all-time record of 34-0-2 against the Capitals, who enter the NHL in 1974.
2002: Rangers goaltender Mike Richter plays his final NHL game, making 39 saves in a 5-2 victory against the Edmonton Oilers at Madison Square Garden, a game in which he is accidentally kneed in the head by former teammate Todd Marchant. Richter ends his career as the Rangers' all-time leader in wins (301) and games played (666), and is the only goalie since 1940 to backstop them to the Stanley Cup. His No. 35 is later retired.
2011: Eight Philadelphia Flyers score goals in a 9-2 victory against the Columbus Blue Jackets at Wells Fargo Center. It's the first time Philadelphia has gotten goals from eight players since Oct. 22, 1983, when it happens in an 8-5 victory against Toronto.
