Thompson is just the fourth player in the last five seasons to hit the five goal mark in a game, joining Patrik Laine , New York Rangers center Mika Zibanejad, and San Jose Sharks winger Timo Meier. The last time an NHL player had six in a game was Darryl Sittler in 1976, when he had his NHL record-setting 10 point game.
