Landon Slaggert scores 7 seconds right into a sport towards Florida

SUNRISE, Fla. – After seven seconds: Chicago 1, Florida 0.

Identical to that, Landon Slaggert obtained himself a chunk of Blackhawks historical past.

Slaggert scored seven seconds into Chicago’s sport on the Panthers on Saturday afternoon — the quickest aim to begin a sport ever for the Blackhawks, in keeping with the NHL document e-book.

The earlier Blackhawks document was set by Brent Sutter, who scored eight seconds into Chicago’s 9-4 win over Vancouver on Feb. 5, 1995.

Slaggert’s rating was the quickest aim to begin a sport within the NHL this season, edging a aim on the nine-second mark by St. Louis’ Robert Thomas towards New Jersey on Nov. 27.

Ryan Donato gained the opening faceoff, then performed the puck into the Florida zone. Slaggert — getting his second aim in simply his third sport of the season — skated previous two Panthers defenders, collected the puck and beat Florida goalie Sergei Bobrovsky with a backhander.

Solely seven regular-season targets have been scored extra shortly in NHL historical past, the newest of these being a aim six seconds right into a sport by Vancouver’s Alexandre Burrows in what grew to become a 5-2 loss to Detroit on March 16, 2013.

There have been 4 targets scored 5 seconds into video games — these by Merlyn Phillips of the Montreal Maroons on Dec. 29, 1926, Doug Smail of the Winnipeg Jets on Dec, 20, 1981, Bryan Trottier of the New York Islanders on March 22, 1984, and Alexander Mogilny of the Buffalo Sabres on Dec. 21, 1991.

The three targets scored on the six-second mark: Burrows had one, whereas Henry Boucha of the Detroit Pink Wings on Jan. 28, 1973 and Jean Pronovost of the Pittsburgh Penguins on March 25, 1976 had the others.

Slaggert’s aim is the eighth scored on the :07 mark of the primary interval, the NHL mentioned.
