MARNER, 7-SECONDS, MARNER

In a rare afternoon contest at the Scotiabank Arena, Toronto Maple Leaf forward, Mitch Marner, tied a club record for the fastest goal (7-seconds) to start a game. He equalled the mark set by Charlie Conacher on February 6, 1932. Back in '32, Conacher added a second goal as Lorne Chabot earned the shutout in Toronto's 6-0 victory over Boston at Maple Leaf Gardens.

A newspaper account noted:

"Charlie Conacher sounded the death knell for the Bruins seven seconds after the opening bell when on a pass by Jackson he shot the puck with bullet like precision from beyond the blue line and scored a bull's eye."
