Brady Tkachuk joined a select group of Panthers players with a second consecutive hat trick, joining only Pavel Bure and Noel Acciari in the list of players with three goals in back-to-back games. The Vancouver Canucks fell 3-2 to Florida in a nail-biting overtime win on Thursday night. Tkachuk, who spent eight years with Ottawa before joining Florida this offseason, became the third player in NHL history to score natural hat tricks in back-to-back games, joining Petri Skriko and Cy Denneny.
His hat trick came in just 11 minutes, with his first goal coming with 8:49 left in regulation. Tkachuk, whose father Keith Tkachuk and brother Matthew have also set goals in back-to-back games, said it was a special feeling to accomplish this feat, but he remains focused on bigger goals.
