Teemu Selanne scored his third goal of the game during the third period, securing his record-setting 54th goal of the 1992-93 season. This impressive feat surpassed Mike Bossy's rookie record of 53 goals, which had been set fifteen seasons earlier. The play unfolded when Selanne's teammate, Tie Domi, launched the puck high into the air, landing near center ice. In a display of speed and skill, Selanne outpaced the defenseman, swatting a backhander past the sliding goalie to secure the record-breaking goal. The ice quickly filled with Selanne's jubilant teammates, celebrating his accomplishment. To commemorate the occasion, the team awarded Selanne a stick, which he raised towards the crowd at center ice in a gesture of gratitude. The rookie season for "The Finnish Flash" saw him tally an astounding 76 goals, obliterating the previous record and earning him the prestigious Calder Trophy.
