The sight of hats on the ice was a familiar one Saturday night as four players in four separate games registered the elusive three-goal outing.
First up was Ryan O'Reilly, who continued to lay the hurt on the struggling Edmonton Oilers as he potted three goals to lead the Nashville Predators to a 5-2 win.
It was the first hat trick for O'Reilly in a Predators uniform but the fifth of his career.
As the Winnipeg Jets faced the somewhat surprising Arizona Coyotes, it was none other than Nino Niederreiter who had the scoring touch.
His third career hat trick, and his first with the Jets, Niederreiter scored all three of his goals from point-blank range. Winnipeg defeated Arizona 5-3.
Tampa Bay Lightning forward Brayden Point just keeps proving that he's found money.
With 477, ahem, points in 510 games for the Lightning, it's almost a shock that Saturday's hat trick against the Ottawa Senators was just the second of his career.
Point led the Lightning to a 6-4 win over the struggling Senators.
At this point, it's almost expected Auston Matthews makes magic on the ice, but he's outdone himself this year.
Notching hat tricks in back-to-back games to start the season, he's collected himself the third in just 10 games on Saturday against the Buffalo Sabres.
Try as he might, however, Matty's hatty was not enough and the Sabres walked away with the 6-4 victory.
