NHL Tuesday: Seguin runs riot in Boston with sixth career hat trick

McDavid did indeed get to his feet slowly and clutched his shoulder the entire way back to the Oilers bench. Trainers convinced him to retreat to the locker room, and a few minutes later the bad news trickled out onto social media that McDavid was done for the night.

The Oilers confirmed after the game that McDavid’s recovery time will not be short.

It’s been two years, but the same narratives rise every time he comes back to Boston. Except now it seems Seguin is even tired of answering the question. Instead, he answers in jokes.

Well, that’s one way to try and kill a narrative. Humor!

Roussel received two minutes in the penalty box for the play but nothing more. Rinaldo was unhurt. Whether the NHL Department of Player Safety takes another look remains to be seen, but it is worth noting that Roussel has a brief suspension history.

So much so that she WEPT.

Minutes later, Seguin completed a hat trick. Just another day at the office for the rising Star.

Beleskey was defending behind his own net in the second period on Tuesday when the puck found its way back up ice. Beleskey went to chase it but something weird happened and his stick suddenly had a new ornament on it.

Usually goalies are supposed to rob forwards. Not the other way around.

Apparently no level of Hall of Fame-worthy respect can protect you from getting speared in the NHL these days.

Yeah. That’s not okay. Ovechkin clearly didn’t think so either, as he immediately skated up to Staal and gave him some choice words before imploring the referees to call a penalty. No such thing occurred, so Ovechkin will now probably score three hat tricks to earn justice.
