Avalanche's Logan O'Connor Completes First Career Hat Trick On Generous Assist From Nathan MacKinnon

Watch as Colorado Avalanche's Logan O'Connor completes the first hat trick of his career against the Philadelphia Flyers after Nathan MacKinnon passed up a hat trick of his own to set up the rookie for an empty net goal.

Nate also being one goal from his own hat trick electing to give it to LOC is so classy

[@jefflarson1652]

That is literally something every NHL player would do in that situation. Why do you think O'Connor was on the ice?

@@jefflarson1652because it was an empty net and he’s one of the best defensive forwards and PK guys in the league.

@@bpgaming7911 Bednar put him out there to give him a chance for the hat trick. You don't think this was all discussed before he even hit the ice? Do you idiots even play any team sports?

Nate is on fire and he’s a great leader.

LOC had a game for himself! Love that for him. Not only did he set a career high for goals, but he passed it AND got his first career hat trick.

Mac for MVP

The way that Nate can both play outrageously great hockey and show time and time again to be a key player and scorer, but also without any hesitation play selflessly, is just king. Amazing playing from LOC and the whole team, but just absolute class from him.

Has shades of Sakic giving the cup to Bourque. Tons high caliber, unselfish and classy players in Colorado. My two favorite players grwong up were, and are still, Steve Y and Joe Sakic. Sakic has already turned Colorado into an absolute beast but I hope we can see a final between both franchises once Stevie Y gets the Wings back into championship shape!

Class.

Miles Wood is one of the better additions the Avs needed!!

Putting your skate in the air is clearly not a kicking motion.
