Nick Schmaltz
- ... that on March 5, 2022, Nick Schmaltz set an Arizona Coyotes record with seven points in one ice hockey game? Source: Schmaltz put up a team record 7 points in a game against the Ottawa Senators to help the Coyotes complete a wild 8-5 comeback victory at Gila River Arena on Saturday.
- ALT1: ... that Nick Schmaltz scored the game-winning goal that sent the North Dakota Fighting Hawks to the 2016 NCAA Division I Men's Ice Hockey Tournament finals with only 60 seconds left to play? Source: With sudden-death overtime and all of the heartbreak that can come with it a mere 60 seconds away, the Fighting Hawks' vaunted “CBS” line put the ghosts back in their graves. Sophomore Nick Schmaltz grabbed a loose puck in front of DU goalie Tanner Jaillet and slid it into an empty net with 57 seconds remaining, giving the Fighting Hawks a 3-2 lead.
- ALT2: ... that Nick Schmaltz's older brother and younger sister would team up against him when they played basement hockey as children? Source: There were two hockey nets at each end of the room. The siblings would often play while wearing roller blades, and the matchup was often Kylie and Jordan against Nick.

5x expanded by GhostRiver (talk). Self-nominated at 16:29, 11 March 2022 (UTC).
- @GhostRiver: Nice 5x expansion, new enough when nominated, well sourced and within policy. Hooks are mentioned in the article and cited inline. I like ALT2 best (they must have had an amazing basement), but it should have a slight copyedit ("as children") would work better. ALT0 is fine too (although the link to Point (ice hockey) isn't awesome and replacing it by mentioning two goals and five assists might work too - any thoughts?). ALT1 doesn't fascinate me as much (late winning goals, while exciting, are not uncommon overall).
(almost there, just some polishing of the hooks required). —Kusma (talk) 16:26, 13 April 2022 (UTC)
- Kusma Thanks for picking this up! I agree that ALT1 is probably the weakest. I added "as children" to ALT2. As for ALT0, from a purely semantic perspective, I'd rather not change it to "two goals and five assists", because while it's technically true that he was the first Coyote to do that, the record he was setting was seven points by any combination – nobody had scored six goals and one assist in a game, three and four, seven and zero and so forth. — GhostRiver 19:51, 15 April 2022 (UTC)
- @GhostRiver: I've removed the duplicate children from ALT2. I prefer that but accept your explanation for ALT0; happy for the prep builder to choose either ALT2 or ALT0. —Kusma (talk) 20:02, 15 April 2022 (UTC)

- For what it's worth, speaking as someone with admittedly limited knowledge about the NHL, I think ALT2 may have broader appeal. As someone with an interest in sports, I do find ALT0 interesting but it's really targeted towards sports buffs, whereas ALT2 may be eye-catching even to non-sports fans, if only due to the mention of "basement hockey".
