This is most certainly another moment to remember. Although most of us have never played in the NHL, we can all imagine how hard it is to score a goal in that league, let alone three. But our 2013 first-overall-pick Nathan MacKinnon did it. Not only did he score three goals in one game — he scored three awesome goals in one game. It is something that only the elite-scorers of the NHL get done and a big highlight of the season — for MacKinnon himself, the fans, and everyone that was at the Can for it. Way to go, Nate! Also great to see that some of us had their personal highlights at a game like that. As MacK’s hatty never gets old, here it is once more: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fz5j4eNHMQQ
