Forsberg, Preds aim to rub more salt in wound of infamous trade from Caps

Joe Malone, here. Mike Bossy, here.

That's all the roll one has to call when you're looking for the NHL players who have notched hat tricks in three straight games. Malone did it twice during the 1917-18 season, and Bossy pulled it off in November of 1981.

Nashville Predators left winger Filip Forsberg can swell the class' ranks to three Saturday if he can burn his old organization, the Washington Capitals, for a third hat trick in five days when the teams meet in a late-afternoon matinee at Bridgestone Arena.

And while the odds are long that Forsberg will pull off the triple-triple, he does have a few things working in his favor.
