Details

Dean Prentice’s lone four goal game over his NHL career occurred on November 19, 1958 at Madison Square Garden in a 7-4 win over the Toronto Maple Leafs. It was the second of six career hat tricks for the 391 goal scorer.

In that game, Prentice got an early start, scoring 59 seconds into the first period, assisted by Larry Popein and Andy Bathgate. He second of the game and sixth of the 1958-59 NHL season came just 1:14 later, assisted by Bathgate and Bill Gadsby. He scored the hat trick goal early in the second and Dean’s third period marker held as the game winner.

All four goals were scored on Toronto goalie Johnny Bower. Andy Bathgate came out with a five point game on a goal and four assists. All four of Bathgate’s assists were on Prentice goals.
