Brady Tkachuk just joined elite company. The Ottawa Senators winger scored natural hat tricks in back-to-back games, becoming only the third player in NHL history to pull off the feat. A natural hat trick means three consecutive goals without anyone else scoring between them.
This is rarefied air. Only one other player accomplished this in the last 40 years. Tkachuk's performance puts him alongside some of hockey's most prolific scorers in a record book that barely has any names on it.
The Senators have found their sniper. Tkachuk is doing damage at both ends of the ice and putting the puck in the net at a historic rate right now.
