Dickie Moore and Rocket Richard Combined for All 6 Canadiens Goals in a 1957 Rout
On October 13, 1957, the Montreal Canadiens visited Detroit Olympia and gave Red Wings fans a night they'd rather forget. Maurice “Rocket” Richard and Dickie Moore combined to score all six Montreal goals in a 6-0 victory over Detroit.
Moore opened the scoring just 1:42 into the game on the power play, with assists from Jean Beliveau and Henri Richard. Richard followed with two first-period goals and later completed what would become the final regular-season hat trick of his legendary NHL career.
Not to be outdone, Moore added two more goals in the third period to complete his own hat trick. Both players finished with four points, recording three goals and one assist apiece.
Henri Richard and Beliveau each chipped in three assists, while Charlie Hodge stopped all 27 shots he faced for the shutout. Terry Sawchuk faced 33 shots and allowed six goals.
