Sports Fact of the Day 1/14/2007

1/14/1922:
Brothers Sprague and Odie Cleghorn become the first teammates in the 20th century to score four goals apiece in an NHL game, leading the Montreal Canadiens to a 10-6 rout of the Hamilton Tigers at Mount Royal Arena. (John Madden and Randy McKay will equal this feat in 2000 for the New Jersey Devils.) The Cleghorn brothers will remain inseparable to the end. In 1956, Sprague will be severely injured in an auto accident and die on July 11. On the day of Sprague's funeral, July 13, Odie will suffer a fatal heart attack.
