<P> This is a list of games in which a player has scored five or more goals in a National Hockey League ( NHL ) game . Scoring five or more goals in a single game is considered a great feat , as it has only been accomplished 60 times , by only 44 players , in the history of the league . The most recent player to do so was Johan Franzen , who scored five goals for the Detroit Red Wings on February 2 , 2011 , against the Ottawa Senators . </P>
