[December 04, 2023]
Brad Marchand scored a natural hat trick in the third period
as the Boston Bruins came from behind to defeat the visiting
Columbus Blue Jackets 3-1 on Sunday night.
The Bruins captain erased his team's 1-0 deficit after two periods
by himself, netting three straight goals -- including two on power
plays -- across a span of 5:50. Four of Marchand's 11 goals this
season have come over the past two games following an eight-game
goal-scoring drought. The hat trick was the sixth of his career.
Charlie McAvoy assisted on each of Marchand's last two goals in his
400th career NHL game. Jeremy Swayman made 24 saves for the Bruins,
who have won three straight games since losing on Monday in
Columbus.
Boone Jenner scored the Blue Jackets' lone goal, and Spencer Martin
stopped 25 shots as Columbus took its third loss in five games.
Rangers 6, Sharks 5
Artemi Panarin recorded his fifth career hat trick and collected a
season-high four points as host New York held on for a wild victory
over San Jose.
Panarin scored New York's first two goals and then got the hat trick
4:41 into the third to give the Rangers a 5-3 lead. He capped his
big night by setting up K'Andre Miller's tally that made it 6-3. It
was Panarin's 19th career four-point game and 12th with the Rangers.
Anthony Duclair, Ryan Carpenter and Jacob MacDonald scored the
Sharks' first three goals. Fabian Zetterlund and Alexander Barabanov
tallied 72 seconds apart in the third when the Sharks made it a
one-goal contest with about four minutes left.
Wild 4, Blackhawks 1
Marco Rossi scored a pair of goals and Minnesota pulled away for a
win over Chicago in Saint Paul, Minn.
Mats Zuccarello added a goal and two assists for the Wild, who
improved to 3-0 since the team dismissed coach Dean Evason and
replaced him with John Hynes. Taylor Raddysh scored the lone goal
for Chicago, which lost its third game in a row.
Wild goaltender Marc-Andre Fleury stopped 28 of 29 shots to earn the
win. It marked the 548th victory of his career, moving him within
three victories of matching Patrick Roy for second place on the
all-time list.
