Natural hat trick and 5 points on the night, and now the franchise leader in power play goals. +4 as well.
Hopefully he goes on a second half tear. He's such an elite player when he's healthy. I suspect he's been dealing with some lingering injury effects from earlier in the year. Can't question his heart though, such a gamer and a professional.
Tkachuk with a mercenary-like 4 points and even +/- rating. almost everything on the PP. He had 9 shots on goal alone.
This team really needs to go on a tear just to get back into the playoff picture. I hope they can, if only for the optics after last year, but it will be tough.
