I'm talking about NHL players who get traded to another NHL club and then have a very auspicious (i.e., successful) first game with the second (or third... or fourth) club.
Examples:
Ray Bourque, Colorado
March 7th, 2000
In Calgary, after a rough first period, the Avalanche paste Calgary 8-3. Bourque gets one assist and goes +4.
Wayne Gretzky, Los Angeles
October 6, 1988
First game was vs. Detroit. Gretzky scores on his first shot on goal as a King and adds three assists as the Kings hammer the Wings 8-3.
