January 30, 1973:
Jim Harrison of the WHA’s Alberta Oilers becomes the first player in the modern era to score 10 points in a big-league game, leading to an 11-3 blowout of the New York Raiders at the Edmonton Gardens. Harrison’s three goals and seven assists break the WHA single-game points record of seven established by Danny Lawson of Philadelphia earlier this season and the NHL standard of eight set by Montreal Canadiens Rocket Richard (1944 ) and Bert Olmstead (1954).

January 25, 1951:
Longtime antagonists Terrible Ted Lindsay of the Red Wings and Wild Bill Ezinicki of the Bruins renew their hostilities with a four-star imbroglio, enlivening a 3-3 tie at the Olympia in Detroit. The two combatants slug it out in the third period and start up again near the penalty box area after being separated by the linesmen. Each suffers cuts around the eyes, among other abrasions, and each receives a match penalty, a three-game suspension and a $300 fine from the league.

The two-time defending champion Toronto Maple Leafs are thoroughly embarrassed on home ice by the worst team in the NHL as the Boston Bruins skate to an 11- 0 romp at Maple Leaf Gardens. Boston scores six goals on only seven shots in the first period against Toronto goalie Don Simmons. Andy Hebenton and Dean Prentice each have hat tricks as Boston wins its third straight game for the first time in almost four years. Shaking off this debacle, the veteran Leafs team will win their third straight Stanley Cup this spring.
