Mikko Rantanen set a pair of NHL records on Wednesday night, when his natural hat trick was the difference in the Dallas Stars' 3-2 Game 1 win at the Winnipeg Jets.
The Stars winger scored three goals in a 7-minute, 55-second span in the second period. It was his second straight game with a hat trick, having scored three goals in the third period of the Stars' Game 7 win over the Colorado Avalanche last Saturday.
"Sometimes it's ups and downs in hockey. Now, it's going well individually and as a team," said Rantanen, who leads the playoffs in goals (8) and points (15).
