A key attribute of Mosienko’s game was his ability to avoid penalties. Mosienko would win the Lady Byng Trophy in the 1944-45 campaign, where he never set his skates in the penalty box. He would, on two more occasions, finish third in Lady Byng voting.
The Blackhawks were never a particularly potent team when Mosienko played there, and as such, he would not have the opportunity to play often in the postseason, but he does have one regular-season accomplishment that will be very difficult to match. The five-time All-Star would, in the final game of the 1951-52 season, score three goals in 21 seconds. Nobody has scored a hat trick quicker than Mosienko did, and it is difficult to imagine anyone ever coming close.
He would play his entire career with the Chicago Blackhawks and would score 540 Points for the team.
Mosienko would be inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame in 1965.
