4. And in the historical department:

On this day in 1963, @DetroitRedWings‘ Gordie Howe scored his 545th career goal to become the NHL’s all-time leading goal scorer #Hockey365 #LGRW pic.twitter.com/NsIntNBVcR— Mike Commito (@mikecommito) November 10, 2020

On this day (Nov 9) in 1973, @DetroitRedWings centre Alex Delvecchio retires partway through his 24th NHL season sitting 2nd in league history to ex-teammate Gordie Howe when it comes to career points (1281). He will take over as DET head coach & adds GM to his title after ’73-74 pic.twitter.com/9fgz2uhzkQ— StatsCentre (@StatsCentre) November 10, 2020
