Only one goalie shut out Montreal during the 1976-77 regular season: Mike Palmateer.
In just his ninth NHL game, the “Popcorn Kid” made 39 saves in Toronto’s 1-0 win on Nov. 17, 1976. Lanny McDonald supplied the only goal.

@vhcr.bsky.socialOutshot 42–14, the Blues still beat Detroit 5–4 on opening night, October 11, 1978.
Curt Bennett tied it in the third, then Garry Unger scored the winner. Each assisted on the other’s goal, while Phil Myre made 38 saves.
Dale McCourt of the Wings alone had 11 shots!
@vhcr.bsky.socialJean Pronovost supplied all the Penguins’ offence in a 3-1 win over Washington on February 26, 1975. His first NHL hat trick came despite Michel Belhumeur’s 42 saves. Pete Laframboise assisted on all three goals, the last with just two seconds left. #NHLHistory #LetsGoPens

@vhcr.bsky.socialNHL Playoff Hat Tricks Of The 1960s: Three goals. One playoff game. A place in hockey history.
@vhcr.bsky.socialGlenn Hall had left. Tony Esposito was yet to arrive. In between, Denis DeJordy owned Chicago’s crease and posted three shutouts in December 1967, stopping all 82 shots against Philadelphia, Toronto and Oakland. A Blackhawks chapter worth remembering. #NHLHistory #Blackhawks
@vhcr.bsky.socialBoston was shut out just once during the 1970-71 regular season and two goalies shared the job! On November 5, Glenn Hall stopped 25 shots and Ernie Wakely added 13 as the Blues blanked the Bruins 2-0 at Boston Garden. #NHLHistory #StLouisBlues
