January 25, 1991
On this day,
Brett Hull became the third player in NHL history to score 50 goals in less than 50 games. In that season, Hull scored 86 goals for the
St. Louis Blues, which is still the third highest total ever recorded in one season. It was also a new goals record for right wingers.
That season, Hull was awarded the Hart Memorial Trophy as the NHL's Most Valuable Player - where he proudly displayed a nicely teased mullet.
