Card Notes

Boston’s “Mr. Everything”. He does penalty kiling and power play duty. Gregg is also an excellent defensive player.

“Gregg holds two Boston records for scoring short handed goals.”

Details

Gregg Sheppard’s short handed goal scoring abilities have stood the test of time. Sheppard scored seven shorties in 1974-75, tying the team mark set by Ed Westfall in 1970-71. That record stood for about 25 years until Brian Rolston topped it in 2001-02 with nine short-handed goals.

As far as career playoff short handed goals in a Bruins jersey goes, Gregg remains third with a total of four. Ed Westfall and Derek Sanderson are tied for first with six.

Sheppard is one of 12 Boston players to score two short handed goals in a single game. He accomplished this in a 5-2 victory over the Altanta Flames on March 9, 1975.

Between 1972-73 and 1981-82, Gregg Sheppard appeared in 657 regular season and 82 playoff games in the National Hockey League with the Bruins and Pittsburgh Penguins. He missed out on a Stanley Cup championship by a year. Prior to his NHL career, Sheppard was MVP in the Central Hockey League for the 1971-72 season, playing for the Oklahoma City Blazers. In his third year with the club, he finished in a three-way tie for first place in goal scoring with J.P. Bordeleau and Ross Perkins, all with 41.
