Welcome back to another edition of Throwback Thursday!

On this day in 1989, Calgary Flames forward Joe Mullen scored his 110th point of the season setting a new record for points in a season by a U.S. born player.

Mullen, 31, had a one-goal, two-assist night in a 4-2 Flames win over the Edmonton Oilers. Mullen broke a record previously held by Jimmy Carson, who had 107 points the previous year.

Mullen’s record was broken by Brett Hull in 1990-91 when he scored 86 goals and 131 points with the St. Louis Blues.
