2012-13 Upper Deck Sam Gagner #78

UD card from the season of Gagner's legendary 8-point game. That single night against Chicago put him in the record books alongside Darryl Sittler, Wayne Gretzky, and Mario Lemieux as the only players to record 8+ points in a game since 1976. Despite an otherwise modest NHL career, that one game alone makes his cards historically noteworthy.
