    Here's today's NHL Nugget – this Wild Wednesday Rewind looks at March 26, 1986, when Neal Broten set an NHL record for players born in the United States.

    It went down in a Minnesota North Stars victory over the Toronto Maple Leafs, when Broten recorded two assists. He ended up with a career-high campaign in scoring.

    On this day in 1986, Neal Broten became the first American-born player to reach a significant milestone.

    Brian T. Dessart takes fans on a distinctive ride through the historic-laden NHL with the #NHLNugget. Check out NHLNugget.com to find where to follow NHL Nugget on social media.  And for past NHL Nuggets, click here.
