• Maple Leafs' William Nylander: Just second career hat trick

  12D ago • By RotoWire

  Nylander scored three goals in a 6-3 victory over the Flames on Tuesday. This was Nylander's second career hat trick; his first came Feb. 4, 2017 against Boston. It was especially sweet for Nylander to put the snipes up in the Saddledome, the arena in his hometown Calgary that he'd never scored in before. Nylander has a three-game, five-goal streak going, and he has nine goals (11 points) in his last eight games. Willie is back on a roll, and while Leon Draisaitl still leads the NHL with 37 goals, Nylander is squarely second with 33, two ahead of Mark Scheifele and Sam Reinhart.
