Hat trick of natural hat tricks: Florida Panthers set an unprecedented NHL Record. They became the first team in NHL history to have multiple players in three consecutive games with “natural” hat tricks. Brady Tkachuk had a hat trick on Tuesday night in Columbus and also in Vancouver at home. With four hat tricks already this season — all coming in the past three games, Florida has matched its total from the past three regular seasons combined.
Carter Verhaeghe and Sam Bennett both had “natural” hat tricks on Saturday night at home against the Seattle Kraken. The Florida Panthers are on a roll as a team right now. On fire with goal scoring and unstoppable. Florida also became only the third team in 30 years to have a hat trick — of any variety — in three consecutive games.
The Florida Panthers just cannot stop scoring and are finding the puck in the back of the opposing team’s net. The Panthers have had multiple players having multi-goal nights in the past three games. It has been nothing but magic in Florida. If anyone has had any doubts about the Panthers’ play and the major injuries that have occurred to their star players at the first two games of the season, the Panthers are doing just fine.
Forward Carter Verhaeghe said after Saturday’s game: “Sometimes, they just come like that; it felt good to get a couple and get on the board. (…) I’m just playing the game and trying to put the puck in the net.” Niko Mikkola and Sam Reinhart also had goals for the Panthers Saturday night. Matthew Tkachuk is also finding his vision on the ice, assisting all his teammates in scoring goals.
Brady Tkachuk was traded from the Ottawa Senators to the Florida Panthers in the off-season. He had a bit of a slow start in the first couple of games, but he has shown up in a big way in the past three games. His brother, Matthew Tkachuk, has assisted him with his “natural” hat tricks. The Tkachuk brothers are making history, and it’s only the beginning of the NHL season.
Tkachuk became just the third player in NHL history to record consecutive natural hat tricks. He accomplished this on Tuesday, October 13, against Columbus, and Thursday, October 15, against Vancouver. The Panthers have also outscored their opponents in the past three games by steamrolling them. It has been a surge of goals in Florida, and the fans are loving every moment of it.
From the Tkachuk brothers and the Florida Panthers surging at the beginning of the season, it has been remarkable to watch and witness them play and make history. Whether you are a fan or not, the Florida Panthers are unstoppable, and honestly, if I were the next opponent, I would not want to be playing them right now.
The Panthers are now headed to another long four-game road trip where they will be facing off against the Ottawa Senators to start. Brady Tkachuk will be getting a warm homecoming in Ottawa on Wednesday night. This might be a game you will not want to miss. Both teams are red hot and playing great hockey. The Senators are 6-3 and the Panthers are 5-2-2.
