Florida Panthers set NHL record with surge of natural hat tricks
The Panthers are the first team in NHL history to record natural hat tricks in three games in a row. Carter Verhaeghe followed two by Brady Tkachuk.
The Florida Panthers have set an NHL record with a remarkable surge of natural hat tricks. Forward Carter Verhaeghe became the first player in league history to achieve this feat three times in consecutive games on October 17. The Panthers secured the record as Verhaeghe scored a natural hat trick midway through the second period, following remarkable performances against the Columbus Blue Jackets and Vancouver Canucks earlier in the week.
Brady Tkachuk, who had previously recorded two natural hat tricks, added to the Panthers' surge with assists on Verhaeghe's and Sam Bennett's second goals. The team, bolstered by changes to cope with injuries to Aleksander Barkov and Brad Marchand, is now threatening to add a second hat trick, leading 6-2 in the game.
