As the Pittsburgh Penguins were working on a 5-3 victory over the defending Stanley Cup champion Florida Panthers on Thursday night, about 1,200 miles north, another Pittsburgh native was having a big night in the NHL.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Pittsburgh native Logan Cooley recorded a natural hat trick for the Utah Mammoth against the St. Louis Blues in less than five minutes.\u00a0<\/p>\n
With the Mammoth leading the Blues 1-0 in the first period, at the 6:07 mark, Cooley received a pass from Dylan Guenther in the slot and fired a one-timer to extend the Mammoth’s lead.\u00a0<\/p>\n
