What is the NHL record for most shots on goal in a single game?
The NHL record for most shots on goal in a single game is 73, set by Bobby Hull of the Chicago Blackhawks on March 11, 1969, against the Detroit Red Wings. Hull's record has stood for over 50 years and is considered one of the most untouchable records in hockey.
Hull's record-breaking performance came in a 10-6 win for the Blackhawks. He fired 31 shots on goal in the first period, 22 in the second, and 20 in the third. His 73 shots on goal were more than double the number of shots taken by the entire Red Wings team (35).
Hull's record is even more impressive when considering that he played in an era when goaltenders were not as well-protected as they are today. Goalies in the 1960s wore smaller pads and masks, and they did not have the benefit of modern stickhandling techniques. As a result, goalies were more vulnerable to being scored on, which made Hull's record even more remarkable.
