Brady Tkachuk can become first in NHL history with three straight hat tricks

Florida Panthers forward Brady Tkachuk is aiming to become the first player in NHL history to score hat tricks in three consecutive games, having already netted three goals and an assist against the Columbus Blue Jackets on Tuesday and three goals against the Vancouver Canucks on Thursday. Only 84 times since the NHL's founding in 1917 has any player scored three or more goals in consecutive games, and Tkachuk is the 65th player to achieve back-to-back hat tricks. He will have the opportunity to make history on Saturday at Amerant Bank Arena against the visiting Seattle Kraken at 6 p.m. ET.
