EspañolCHRIS NILAN
'Christopher "Chris" Nilan' (born February 9, 1958 in Boston, Massachusetts) is a former professional ice hockey player. He played as a right-wing for the Montreal Canadiens, Boston Bruins, and New York Rangers. Known as "Knuckles," he was famous for his propensity to fight.
Chris Nilan was selected 231st overall in the 1978 NHL Entry Draft, and was best known as a tough-guy for the Montreal Canadians in the mid 1980's. One of only nine players in NHL history to have recorded more than 3,000 career penalty minutes, he holds the dubious records of highest penalty minute average per game at 4.42 minutes per game, as well as the record for most penalties minutes in a single game.
It was March 31, 1991 when Hartford played at Boston in what was to become an infamous night in NHL history. Before the evening was over, Chris Nilan managed to rack up a record 10 penalties in a single game; six minors, two majors, one misconduct and one game misconduct, for a total of 42 penalty minutes.
Chris played his college career for the Northeastern University Huskies, from 1976 to 1979. He averaged 3.5 penalty minutes per game in his final collegiate season.
