A look at every hat trick in Capitals history
The Washington Capitals have had amazing games that included several players recording a hat trick. This post will take a look at every hat trick in Capitals history, from their first season in 1974 all the way through last season.
Alex Ovechkin alone had 28 of them.
Here’s a list of all 153 hat tricks in Capitals history. This will be listed by player name, date, opponent, how many goals that player scored, and the final score. The asterisk next to the date means the hat trick occurred in the playoffs. I’ve included video of my favorite ones.
