Others on the close-but-no-cigar list: Alexander Mogilny<\/a>, Buffalo Sabres, 1992-93; Wayne Gretzky<\/a>, Edmonton Oilers, 1984; Phil Esposito<\/a>, Boston Bruins, 1974; Claude Larose, Montreal Canadiens, 1974; Punch Broadbent<\/a>, Senators, 1922; and Malone, Hamilton Tigers, 1921.<\/p>\n

These offensive stars put up gaudy streak numbers, their consecutive hat tricks only part of their stories.<\/p>\n

Selanne scored nine goals in a three-game span, with fellow rookie Keith Tkachuk<\/a>, Brady\u2019s father, scoring a goal in all three of those games. Mogilny had 13 goals over five games; Gretzky, nine in three; Esposito, eight in three; Larose, nine in three; Broadbent, 14 in six; Malone, 16 in six; Denneny, 12 in four.<\/p>\n

Selanne came within a whisker of a third consecutive hat track in the Jets\u2019 5-3 victory against the Oilers in Edmonton on March 4, 1993, scoring his second of the game at 18:08 of the third period for his 56th goal of the season.<\/p>\n

In the first period, in alone on Oilers goalie Bill Ranford<\/a>, he banked a shot off one post that hit the other before the puck skittered away.<\/p>\n

\u201cSelanne does everything, if not more,\u201d Keith Tkachuk said after the game. \u201cHe\u2019s the one that\u2019s getting us here. The press doesn\u2019t bother me. I just go about my business, play well, and play hard.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mogilny came up just short of a fourth hat trick in five games when he whistled a shot over the crossbar of St. Louis Blues goalie Guy Hebert early in the contest on Jan. 3, 1993, a 6-5 overtime win for Buffalo.<\/p>\n

\u201cI haven\u2019t been thinking about hat tricks,\u201d he said, having tied former Sabres captain Mike Foligno for the most consecutive games in Buffalo history with a goal, at eight. \u201cI didn\u2019t know Mike had a record like that. I\u2019m not looking at anything or anyone. I\u2019m just trying to get as many (goals) as I can.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Others on the close-but-no-cigar list: Alexander Mogilny, Buffalo Sabres, 1992-93; Wayne Gretzky, Edmonton Oilers, 1984; Phil Esposito, Boston…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":936459,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[49,48,82],"class_list":["post-936458","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-sports","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/936458","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=936458"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/936458\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/936459"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=936458"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=936458"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=936458"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
