Top player from Wednesday in the NHL
Alex DeBrincat, Chicago Blackhawks
It was an eventful game for DeBrincat in Chicago’s latest win as he recorded the first Gordie Howe hat trick of his career, scoring a goal, recording an assist, and getting into a fight with Yannie Gourde during the Blackhawks’ 4-2 win over the Seattle Kraken. DeBrincat is now up to nine goals and 12 total points on the season and is picking up where he left off a year ago offensively when he scored 32 goals and 56 total points in 52 games. As of now he is on a 46-goal pace for this season. He already has one 40-goal season in his career, would have had one in a full season a year ago, and looks to be on pace for another this season.

Cale Makar gives Colorado the lead early in the third period on this absolute rocket of a one-timer to beat Vancouver Canucks goalie Thatcher Demko. Makar is already one of the best players in the league, and his best days are still ahead of him.

It took nearly 57 minutes for somebody to break the ice in the Washington Capitals-Los Angeles Kings game, and it was Garnet Hathaway scoring the game-winner and then adding an empty-net goal for the game’s only two goals in the Capitals’ 2-0 win. Hathaway now has five goals in his past four games for the Capitals. Here is his game-winning goal on Wednesday.

Then they completely melted down in the third period, gave up three unanswered goals, and lost their fifth game in a row to fall to 5-10-2 on the season. It is hard to see how this team gets better anytime soon. There are a lot of problems here,…
