Tkachuk Brothers Make NHL History With Hat Trick
Tap title to read story
The Florida Panthers secured a decisive seven‑to‑three victory over the Columbus Blue Jackets when Brady Tkachuk recorded a natural hat trick, assisted on every goal by his brother Matthew.
This marks the first time in NHL history a brother has assisted on all three goals of a natural hat trick, a feat only previously achieved by the Sedin twins in 2015. The brothers’ performance, which included a franchise‑record five assists by Matthew in a single period, helped the Panthers snap a streak of four losses and lift the team’s morale as key players recover from injury.
The Tkachuk brothers had previously combined for a tally during the 2026 Milan Cortina Olympics, and Brady’s hat trick came just over eight minutes into the second period, the third‑fastest in franchise history. Their nine‑point game remains the first pair of brothers and teammates since the Sedins
