Two hat tricks in one post: Video of Ray Whitney and Evgeni Malkin’s three-goal nights

There were two hat tricks in last night’s action, so I thought I’d include them in one handy post.

At the top, we have Ray Whitney’s resourceful trio. I figured I’d feature “The Wizard” first since Evgeni Malkin has plenty of attention, awards and adoration (and will receive more attention for his hatter in highlight packages and the like, if I had to bet).

A few interesting facts about the two hat tricks:


  • Both Whitney (three goals, two assists) and Malkin (three goals, one assist) were involved in all of their respective teams’ goals. Not too surprisingly, both of their teams also won.
  • Each player earned a hat trick with the help of an empty-netter.
  • Ray Whitney came into tonight’s game with zero goals and six assists, so he nearly doubled his previous season output.

Anyway, those facts aside, take a look at Malkin’s hat trick at the bottom of this post.
