Which NHL player had the equivalent of a “Linsanity” run? Linsanity means when a player just randomly plays like one of the best for a period of time but is never heard from again after that

Cheechoo in San Jose with Joe feeding him pucks to tap in. Jim Carey was also a 1 season wonder for the caps and took a Vezina only to be hot garbage every season after.

Jeff Cowan for the Canucks. From his Wikipedia:
* Towards the end of his first season with Vancouver, Cowan rose to brief prominence, scoring an unexpected 6 goals in 4 games.[3] During that span, a bra was thrown on the ice after his second goal of the game against the Tampa Bay Lightning, coining the moniker “Cowan the Bra-barian”. The unique celebration was popularized among fans and in response, the entire Canucks team signed a bra that was auctioned to raise money for breast cancer research.[4]*

John Druce in the 1990 playoffs. 14 goals in 15 games from a guy who averaged 0.21 gpg in his career and never scored more than one goal in any other postseason.

It’s too early to say Brown fits this title.

I remember Jeremy Lin and hardly follow NBA.
Not the same (more than ‘flash in pan’), but remember John Leclair being somewhat of a nobody while with Habs followed by becoming somewhat of a household name after traded to Flyers.

I don’t think it quite fits, but during the Hawks runs, Andrew Shaw was a key player that just caused havoc. Still think his head butt goal should have been allowed.

Fernando Pisani. Scored 14 goals and 4 assists in 24 games during the Oilers run to the 2006 Stanley Cup Final. He had a career high of 18 goals and 37 points in the regular season the same year.

Bill Muckalt. He had a decent rookie start with the Canucks, even leading all rookies in scoring early in the season. He finished the season with solid stats, trailing only Markus Naslund, Alex Mogilny, and Mark Messier in points for the team.
He never reached those totals again and bounced around the league before retiring, playing just five seasons in the NHL with four teams.
A shoulder injury ended his career but he was already on shaky ground by then; his last injury-free season only saw 8 points (no goals) in 70 games.
Oddly enough, his final season (when his career-ending injury happened) had him averaging a point per game for the only time in his career.
Today, he coaches college hockey.
