Justin Faulk became the first defenseman in Hartford/Carolina franchise history to produce a natural hat trick when he scored three consecutive goals in the Hurricanes’ 7–3 win against the Kings. Faulk, who scored his three goals in a 12:21 span from the middle of the first period to early in the second period, is only the third NHL defenseman to register a natural hat trick since 1991–92. Al MacInnis did that twice for the Blues, in 1996 (Dec. 11 at Dallas) and 1998 (Oct. 12 at N.Y. Rangers), and Dustin Byfuglien had a natural hat trick for the Blackhawks in 2007 (Nov. 30 vs. Phoenix).
Filip Forsberg’s penalty-shot goal in overtime capped the Predators’ comeback from a 3–0 deficit in the middle of the third period and earned them a 4–3 win against the Blues in Nashville. This was the fourth time in the Predators’ 19 seasons in the NHL that they won a game in which they trailed by three goals in the third period.
Taylor Hall scored a pair of goals for the Devils, who overcame a 4–2 deficit to beat the Flyers via a shootout, 5–4.
The Jets trailed the Capitals, 3–2, but Winnipeg tied the score on Mark Scheifele’s goal at the 19:45 mark of the third period and won, 4–3, when defenseman Tyler Myers scored in overtime. This was only the second time since the Atlanta Thrashers moved to Winnipeg in 2011 that the Jets won a game in which they trailed in the final 30 seconds of the third period.
The Blue Jackets racked up 51 shots on goal in their win over the Islanders in Brooklyn on Tuesday, after registering 50 shots on goal in their victory against the Devils in Columbus on Saturday. This is only the fourth time in the last 46 seasons that an NHL team recorded 50 or more shots on goal in each of two consecutive games.
Patrice Bergeron scored two goals for the Bruins in their 5–2 win against the Flames. It was Bergeron’s sixth multiple-goal game this season, tying him with Sean Couturier, Anders Lee, Eric Staal and John Tavares for the NHL high this season. Bergeron is tied for the league lead in that category despite not recording his first multi-goal game this season until December 14.
