NHL player Rantanen matches Mohiłny and Gretzky's impressive feat again
Tearing It Up, Heiskanen Style!
In a shocking performance during game six of the series against Colorado, Dallas forward Miro Heiskanen shined bright, cashing in a goal and dishing out three assists in one electrifying period! This incredible outing earned him a hugely impressive four points.
Digging deeper into the records, TSN StatsCentre reveals that only five other players in NHL playoff history have managed to record at least four points (1+3) in a single game period, just like our superstar Heiskanen. But let's not forget - Heiskanen's stunning display, despite leading Dallas to a heartbreaking 4-7 loss, has tied the series 3-3!
While Heiskanen is shaking up the record books, it's worth noting that Mikko Rantanen and Roope Hintz made waves too! In the 2025 playoffs, these two Dallas forwards arrived at an unprecedented milestone, tying the record for points in a playoff period with four points each. However, the details about their stellar performance (whether it was goals or assists in particular) doesn't appear to be available.
The history of playoff hockey has already seen giants like Wayne Gretzky (1985) and Phil Esposito (1970) reach the 4+ points milestone, but these were full-game totals, not single-period records.
There are hints that others might share this feat, such as Barry Pederson, but he hasn't been confirmed with a single-period record as of yet. For a comprehensive list of names beyond Heiskanen, Rantanen, and Hintz, it's advisable to dig deeper into the NHL archives.
While the search results don't explicitly list the other four players to achieve such a feat, historical context suggests that the likes of Mikko Rantanen and Roope Hintz are adding their names to the special club of hockey legends that have made the most of their game during the playoffs.

Bookmakers might be intrigued by Heiskanen's potential points tally in the ongoing NHL series, considering his impressive four points in a single game period. This performance puts him in the same league as hockey legends like Wayne Gretzky and Phil Esposito, who also recorded 4+ points in the NHL playoffs. However, Heiskanen's accomplishment stands out for being a single-period record, unlike their full-game totals. With Mikko Rantanen and Roope Hintz also joining the list of players with four points in a playoff period, the 2025 playoffs are shaping up to be an exciting batch of sports history in hockey.
