Chicago Blackhawks forward, Slaggert, scores the fastest goal in franchise history, just seven seconds into the game against the Florida Panthers. This sets a new record for the Blackhawks and the fastest goal allowed at the start of a game in Florida history.
Slaggert etched his name in the history books for the Chicago Blackhawks , scoring the fastest goal to start a game in franchise history. At just seven seconds into the game against the Florida Panthers on Saturday afternoon, Slaggert blazed past two defenders and beat goalie Sergei Bobrovsky with a backhander. This electrifying feat shattered the previous Blackhawks record held by Brent Sutter, who scored eight seconds into a game against Vancouver in 1995.
Slaggert's lightning-fast goal also claimed the title of the fastest goal to start a game in the NHL this season, surpassing St. Louis' Robert Thomas's nine-second goal against New Jersey. The play unfolded swiftly. Ryan Donato won the opening faceoff and sent the puck into the Florida zone. Slaggert, capitalizing on the opportunity, skillfully maneuvered past two Panthers defenders, picked up the puck, and fired it past a stunned Bobrovsky. This marked Slaggert's second goal of the season in just his third game. Slaggert's goal wasn't just a Blackhawks record; it was also the fastest goal allowed at the start of a game in Florida history, beating Mike Knuble's goal for Boston in 2003 by three seconds. His remarkable achievement places him among an elite group of players who have scored goals within the first seven seconds of an NHL game. Only seven regular-season goals have been scored faster than Slaggert's, with the most recent being Vancouver's Alexandre Burrows's six-second goal against Detroit in 2013.
