Your move, Joe Thornton.

Calgary Flames forward Sam Bennett saved his best for last Wednesday night, going between the legs with a series of moves to school Florida Panthers defenseman Alex Petrovic and score his fourth goal of the game.

Bennett tallied three times in the first period to pick up the first hat trick of his career in a 6-0 win over the Panthers, who've suddenly lost consecutive games.

The 19-year-old rookie became the first Flames player to score four goals in a game since Jarome Iginla did it in February 2003.

Bennett now has 14 goals and nine assists in 42 games.

Thornton infamously told reporters what he'd do upon scoring four goals after teammate Tomas Hertl accomplished the feat in 2013.
