Arizona Coyotes forward Nick Schmaltz had an afternoon to remember Saturday against the Ottawa Senators.
Schmaltz set a franchise record with seven points (two goals, five assists) in a thrilling 8-5 victory. That feat includes the club's Winnipeg Jets era.
The effort was the most prolific across the NHL this season, and the most the league has seen in a single game since Sam Gagner recorded eight points for the Edmonton Oilers in 2012.
Here's a look at all Schmaltz's points:

"It was one of those nights where everything was kind of coming my way and everything was going in," Schmaltz said, according to the team's website.
"So it was pretty special but obviously that doesn't happen very often, so enjoy it and then get back to work."
After the offensive outburst, Schmaltz is up to 33 points in 36 games on the season.
