    Here's today's NHL Nugget – this Milestone Monday goes back to April 15, 1993, when Teemu Selanne scored his 76th goal of the season for the Winnipeg Jets to finish off a rookie season that may not be touched for a long time. We also head back to April 15, 1952, when the Detroit Red Wings won the Stanley Cup and started a unique tradition.
