The shortest amount of time for a goal to be scored in an NHL game is just 5 seconds after the puck drops. This record was set by Doug Smail of the Winnipeg Jets on September 24, 1981, during a game against the New York Rangers. Scoring that quickly is extremely rare and highlights the fast-paced nature of hockey.
