context_page_description: This is a list of players who have scored five or more goals in a National Hockey League game. Scoring five or more goals in a single game is considered a great feat, as it has only been accomplished 62 times, by 46 players, in the history of the league. The first player to do so was Joe Malone, with the Montreal Canadiens, in the first ever NHL game, on December 19, 1917. The most recent player to do so was Mika Zibanejad, with the New York Rangers, in the 102nd NHL season of play, on March 5, 2020.
  In addition to being first, Joe Malone holds the overall record with five five-or-more goal games, including the NHL record seven goals in a game, as well as a six-goal game and three five-goal games – all in the first three seasons of the NHL’s existence. He is also the only player to record a five-goal game with more than one team, accomplishing his first three with the Montreal Canadiens and his last two with the Quebec Bulldogs.
  Overall, seven players have scored six goals in a game—including brothers Corb and Cy Denneny, with different teams, within a few weeks of each other in 1921.
