Mike Bossy Reaches a Rookie (and Islanders) Milestone Nobody Had Before

Entering the game on April 1, 1978 against the Washington Capitals with 49 goals, the New York Islanders rookie finally broke through in the third period, scoring his 50th goal on the power play to become the first rookie in NHL history to reach 50 goals.

Bossy added another power-play goal with just five seconds remaining, giving him 51 on the season and lifting the Islanders to a dramatic 3-2 comeback victory.

He finished his rookie year with 53 goals, beginning an incredible streak of nine consecutive 50-goal seasons. More than 40 years later, only Teemu Selanne, Joe Nieuwendyk and Alex Ovechkin have joined Bossy as NHL rookies to score 50 goals.
