Everyone remembers Borje Salming but Inge Hammarstrom had his moment too.

January 6, 1963 was Eddie Shack’s night in Chicago.

The Maple Leafs defeated the Blackhawks 5–1 at Chicago Stadium, powered by a huge performance from Shack and Red Kelly, who combined for eight points. Shack scored the first hat trick of his NHL career, while Kelly added a goal and three assists.

Dave Keon opened the scoring early, Shack followed with the eventual game-winner, and Toronto never looked back. Shack added two more in the third, both set up by Kelly, before Pierre Pilote spoiled the shutout late.

Efficiency defined the night: Kelly scored on his only shot, and Shack scored three times on four attempts. A classic Leafs road win and a signature game for Eddie “The Entertainer.”
