What are the chances of a hockey team player scoring 5 goals in one game?

Answer 1

It is very rare and the chances are very slim but it does happen. In fact in one game Mario Lemieux scored 5 goals in all the ways possible

Powerplay
Even Strength
Shorthanded
Penalty Shot
Empty Net

He and Gretzky had a few 6 goal nights actually in their careers. It is rare and not something you should ever expect.

Answer 2

1) Which NHL team has the LEAST intimidating name? Gotta be the Ducks right? UM A LEAF WHOS IS SCARED OF A LEAF?? 2) Which team has the most intimidating name? PREDATORS I WOULD BE SCARED OF THAT 3) Which player has the best hockey name? Worst? KANE, TOOTOO 4) Which goalie would make the best player? Which player the best goalie? UMM IDK 5) Which summer olympian for the USA would be the best hockey player? USIAN BOLT HE COULD SKATE BY EVERY1 6) If your favorite team moved to Kansas City or Las Vegas, would you still be a fan? YEA 7) Who is going to score the first goal of the season for your team? The last? KANE AND TOEWS 8) How many games will it take for Martin Brodeur to break the all time wins record (needs 14 wins to break)? All time shutout record (needs 8 to break)? HE WILL GET BOTH IN THE FIRST 50 GAMES 9) If you had to change the color of the lines on the ice (red line blue line) what would you change them too? RED AND BLACK 10) Tough Devils question.....who forechecked the Philadelphia player that then coughed up the puck into his own open net (delayed penalty) to give Martin Brodeur his second career goal? UMM IDK 11) Another tough Devils question...who misfired the puck to the point that then went down and scored on the empty net (delayed penalty) which lead to Ottawa's goaltender recording a goal against the Devils. I forget which goaltender it was....IDK BONUS: If Mats Sundin retires, will it be the end of him or will he pull a Brett Favre and try and come back? Will we ever hear the end to this annoying as h*ll saga? YEA PROBABLY A BRETT WHO? BONUS #2: If you were Mats Sundin the identical sitaution, what would you choose to do, honestly? I would think I would choose Vancouver....$20 Million! YEA SAME HERE

Answer 3

It's happened before. Sergei Federov scored all five of Detroit's goals against the Capitals (including the game winner in overtime).

Answer 4

With the amount of power play time it is very possible. Mario did it at the garden and I believe Granato score 5 once...

Answer 5

A single player doing it? Not really good. Not even done once a season.

Answer 6

That would be about 3 in 842,669. Let's see... Rocket Richard, Red Berenson, Darryl Sittler. All the other guys didn't do it, not even Bobby Hull. Well, Wayner did it I think. This off the top of my head. Now you've got me wondering.

Answer 7
