Johan Franzen set a lot of records with his 5 goal game in the February 2nd game against the Ottawa Senators.
His first 3 goals earned him his first hat trick in the regular season; he has had three hat tricks in the playoffs. Franzen became the third Wing to score a hat trick this season along with Nick Lidstrom and Patrick Eaves.
When Franzen scored his fourth goal, he earned himself his second 4 goal game of his career. His first four goal game was during a 2009-2010 playoff game on May 6th (2010) against the San Jose Sharks.
Although his fifth goal was an empty netter, it was a history making goal. The fifth goal made Franzen the first Red Wing in history to score goal 5 goals in an away game.
The last Red Wing who scored 5 goals was Sergei Federov in 1996 during the December 26 game against the Washington Capitals.
With the unstoppable Mule, the Wings won 7-5.
