Timo Meier has set a new record for the San Jose Sharks by scoring five goals in a game in a 6-2 win over the LA Kings.
Joe Malone holds the NHL single-game record with seven goals, which he achieved with the Quebec Bulldogs back in 1920.
Tomas Hertl had four assists for the Sharks in the win which will only help the Sharks get the best return in a trade if the Sharks can’t re-sign him by the 2022 NHL trade deadline.
Hertl is set to become an unrestricted free agent in the summer and if is not signed by the trade deadline, the Sharks risk losing him for nothing in the offseason.
The New York Rangers are believed to be the team with the most interest in a Hertl trade and are one of the teams on Hertl’s no-trade clause list he will accept a trade to.
