WOW: Cole Caufield Breaks Incredible 100-Year-Old NHL Record

Setting a new NHL record for the fastest player to reach five and six overtime goals, Cole Caufield continues to etch his name in the Bettman circuit's record book. Thanks to his goal against the Detroit Red Wings last night, Cole Caufield is now the fastest player to reach seven overtime goals in the National League.

Wow! This is a frankly impressive feat, especially considering that the former holder of this record was Frank Finnigan, who needed 222 games to reach this milestone. Cole Caufield, on the other hand, managed to accomplish this feat in just 136 games.

It's also worth noting that he could set a new record this season for the most overtime goals scored in a single year. This feat (5 overtime goals in one season) currently belongs to a former Canadiens forward, Alex Galchenyuk, who is unfortunately making headlines for the wrong reasons currently.

Certainly, it will be very interesting to follow Cole Caufield's progress throughout the 2023-2024 season, as he increasingly establishes himself as an elite attacker in the NHL. With a haul of five goals and eight assists in thirteen games, everything seems to indicate that he is on track to have his best career season.
