Tage Thompson was the first to score in Game 3 of the Stanley Cup Quarterfinal series featuring the Montreal Canadiens and the Buffalo Sabres. His goal, netted just 53 seconds into the contest, landed among the top 5 fastest goals in the club’s playoff history.
The game is currently taking place at the Bell Centre in Montreal. Following Thompson’s tally, the score in the first period was equalized at 1-1. Thompson’s feat only trails the accomplishments of Derek Roy (9 seconds in 2007), Henrik Tallinder (33 seconds in 2006), Mike Grier (35 seconds in 2006), and Curtis Brown (37 seconds in 1999).
