NHL: Flyers' Record Matched as Laughton Nets Four Goals
The highlight of the NHL night belonged to Philadelphia Flyers' center Scott Laughton, who scored an impressive four goals, leading his team to a commanding 4-1 victory over the Detroit Red Wings.
A Historic Night for Laughton
While not all of his goals came in dramatic fashion—two were scored into an empty net—Laughton's performance still marked a significant milestone. His four-goal effort tied the franchise record set by the legendary John LeClair 22 years ago. Adding to the occasion, Laughton's second goal of the night was his 100th career tally, a testament to his enduring presence in the league.
Elsewhere in the League
Fans in Montreal witnessed a scoring bonanza, though likely not to their delight. The Pittsburgh Penguins dominated the Canadiens in a staggering 9-2 blowout, with a hat-trick from Bryan Rust.
