Through three games, Draisaitl has already recorded 10 points (2G, 8A) against a Flames team that is usually pretty stingy but doesn&#8217;t seem to have any answers for that line, making what happened last night in Game 3 incredibly special even by his lofty standards.</p>

Prior to Draisaitl&#8217;s new record, there were 113 players tied at three assists in a single period with some names dating as far back as 1932. I don&#8217;t know if you fine readers have ever spent any time looking back at old footage from the way things used to be, but let&#8217;s just say that goaltending wasn&#8217;t exactly spectacular in the early days, and that makes this new record all the more impressive. Regardless, I think it&#8217;s pretty damned cool to see Draisaitl&#8217;s name up at the top of the list on a record that&#8217;s stood for a very long time and I wanted to take a minute to give him a shout out for his efforts.</p>
