It makes sense that a swift bit of history happened in a game in which three goals were scored scored on three shots in about three minutes.
Brad Marchand found the net eight seconds in after an icing call, setting a new record for the Boston Bruins.
(You can see that goal in the video above.)
**STAT ALERT** Marchand's goal just eight seconds in marks the fastest goal scored from the start of a game in team history. #NHLBruins

Watch that three-goal burst in this video:
The two teams weren’t done then. Loui Eriksson made it 3-1 while Pavel Datsyuk scored his 900th point to make it 3-2.
Datsyuk's first-period tally was the 900th point of his career. Congrats! pic.twitter.com/9ow2PnWIYV

Maybe the best moment wasn’t a goal: Torey Krug was seemingly hurt by a Pavel Datsyuk hit, yet he returned without missing much time.
