Dell's gaffe gifts Cracknell 1st career hat trick

Adam Cracknell has Aaron Dell's failed breakout pass to thank for his first career hat trick.

The Dallas Stars forward hit the milestone early in the third period after Dell - with his club on the power play - fanned on a pass, allowing Cracknell to walk in on a breakaway and snap his third goal of the game glove side.

The trio of goals gave Cracknell 10 on the year, marking the first time in his career the 31-year-old hit double digits.
