Three guys named Rasmus scored for the Buffalo Sabres last night in a 5-3 win over the New Jersey Devils
While not being able to fully account for variations of first names, the NHL Stats department was able to provide us with this fun stat:
The last time three players with the same first name each scored in a game for the same team was on December 19, 2019 when Ryan Donato, Ryan Hartman and Ryan Suter each had a goal for the Wild.
The last time this happened for the Sabres was back on April 2, 1989 when three players named Mike scored in the same contest (Mike Foligno, Mike Hartman, Mike Ramsey).
Rasmus Asplund, Rasmus Dahlin and Rasmus Ristolainen potted goals for Buffalo on Tuesday. Brandon Montour also scored and Casey Mittelstadt netted the game-winner. Linus Ullmark made 27 saves.
Buffalo has points in five straight games. They're 3-0-2 over that span.
