Details

Norm Ullman’s goal total in the NHL stopped just ten shy of the 500 goal mark with 490. He certainly didn’t remain in the seventh spot with now 48 players to score 500 or more over their career. With Detroit Red Wings franchise, Ullman is seventh all-time with 324 goals scored.

What this card should have mentioned is that he went into the 1971-72 NHL season just three points shy of 1,000. In his third game of the year, he reached that milestone. At the time, he was just the fifth player to do so behind Gordie Howe, Jean Beliveau, Alex Delvecchio and Bobby Hull. We take a closer look at the third game of the 1971-72 season in the Facebook post below.

As for the Lady Byng Trophy, Ullman never won the award. He was really only in the running in 1960-61 when he was runner-up to Red Kelly of the Toronto Maple Leafs. That year, Norm had 34 penalty minutes with Detroit while totaling 70 points. In his final year with Toronto, 1974-75, he was assessed just four minor penalties while playing all 80 regular season games.

Between 1955-56 and 1974-75, Norm Ullman played 1,410 regular season and 106 playoff games in the National Hockey League with the Red Wings and Maple Leafs. He spent two years in the WHA with the Edmonton Oilers, playing an additional 144 regular season and nine playoff games. Ullman was inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame in 1982.
