Nashville Predators fans were served up a good time if they tuned in to see their team thwomp the Tampa Bay Lightning 6-1 Thursday night. Not only did the Fangs earn two points via 6 goals on only 19 shots, but NHL history was made along the way.
Second-year depth forward Colton Sissons earned his first career hat trick, and did it in a distinctly peculiar fashion. He was the first player in league history to score his second of three goals in a game against an empty net- with the third (and hat trick qualifier) coming against a goalie.
