Nov. 5: Beliveau scores three goals in 44 seconds for Canadiens

THIS DATE IN HISTORY: Nov. 5
1955:
Jean Beliveau
scores all four goals
for the Montreal Canadiens in a 4-2 win against the Boston Bruins. Three of the four are power-play goals and all are scored on the same penalty, in a span of 44 seconds. Under the rules at the time, a penalized player must serve his entire minor penalty.

The NHL changes the rule for the 1956-57 season, allowing a penalized player to return to the ice if a goal is scored.
Bert Olmstead
assists on each of Beliveau's power-play goals for the second-fastest three assists in NHL history.
