Landon Slaggert Sets Chicago Blackhawks Record with 7-Second Opening Goal
Slaggert's lightning-fast goal against Florida is the quickest in Blackhawks history and the fastest in the NHL this season.
- Landon Slaggert scored seven seconds into the game against the Florida Panthers, marking the fastest goal in Chicago Blackhawks history.
- This goal surpassed the previous Blackhawks record of eight seconds, set by Brent Sutter in 1995.
- Slaggert's goal is the fastest to start a game in the NHL this season, narrowly beating a nine-second goal by Robert Thomas of the St. Louis Blues in November.
- The goal was Slaggert's second of the season, achieved in just his third game, following a setup by teammate Ryan Donato after winning the opening faceoff.
- Only seven goals in NHL regular-season history have been scored faster, with the record being five seconds.
