The OP rules made this difficult...essentially #3 makes it best individual performance in a game. That being said Johnny Gaudreau's hat trick (3 G, 1A) against the Bruins (Dec 2015) is up there - could be because of the game as well - Flames tied it up with 2 seconds to go and Johnny nets the hat trick in OT. Another for me is Joe Nieuwendyk's first 2 of his 51 goal rookie season (Oct 1987). I am not as enamored with Lemieux as everyone else, in the 2 times I seen him live, he floated around the blueline waiting for an outlet - he did get 3 assists in the one game. I will say that Gretzky never disappointed me in the games I seen him live (Oilers and the Kings).
