Brady Tkachuk completes 2nd straight natural hat trick in OT as Panthers stun Canucks

Brady Tkachuk completed his second consecutive natural hat trick, scoring in overtime to lift the Florida Panthers to a 3-2 victory over the Vancouver Canucks. Tkachuk initiated the comeback late in the third period before tying the game with 13 seconds left in regulation while Florida's goalie was pulled. He then secured the win in overtime, following a prior hat-trick performance against Columbus.

Liam Ohgren and Elias Pettersson scored first-period goals for Vancouver, while goaltender Leevi Merilainen made 36 saves despite the loss, which marked the Canucks' sixth straight defeat. Akira Schmid stopped 15 shots for the Panthers, who lost forward Eetu Luostarinen to an injury during the third period.
