St. Louis Blues left winger Brandon Saad of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania recorded his third career National Hockey League hat trick on Friday. He accomplished the feat on six shots in a 4-0 St. Louis Blues win over the Ottawa Senators at the Enterprise Center in St. Louis, Missouri.
It was a notable game for the Blues as goaltender Jordan Binnington of Richmond Hill, Ontario recorded his 18th NHL regular season shutout. This is the second time this season that the Blues won 4-0 with Binnington recording a shutout and the Blues getting a hat trick in the same game. The first time came on December 23, in a Blues win over the Detroit Red Wings. In that game, Dylan Holloway of Calgary, Alberta had the hat trick.
