NHL Rink Wrap: More Ovechkin history; Draisaitl reaches 50 and 100

For the first time in his NHL career, Josh Norris collected a hat trick.

Overall, Norris’ goal totals jumped in a big way this season. After scoring 17 goals (and 35 points) in 2020-21, Norris already reached 30 goals (and 43 points) in 52 games this season. Clearly, he was more than just a throw-in as a part of the Erik Karlsson trade.

While that was the first hat trick for Josh Norris, Jean-Gabriel Pageau notched his fourth. This was, however, the first hat trick Pageau generated for the Islanders. Pageau also collected an assist. With four points in this one, Pageau reached 33 points in 66 games on the season.

During their first home game since his passing, the Senators honored Eugene Melnyk:

If Pageau getting a natural hat trick wasn’t cool enough, he also caught a hat with his stick.

Did he just catch that hat on his stick⁉️
