Zdeno Chara notches a hat trick
The tallest player in NHL history became the tallest to record a hat trick. The 6’9″ defenseman’s three-goal game came in a 7-0 blowout of the Hurricanes on January 17, 2011. His second and third goals came on the power play, where his hard slapshot has always been an asset, but the first goal was the result of the rare Chara-led break down the ice.
