Stars' Adam Cracknell: Posts first career hat trick in Friday's win

Cracknell notched his first career hat trick -- including one shorthanded goal -- with a plus-3 rating in 11:35 of ice time in Friday's 6-1 blowout win against the Sharks.

Analysis:

It was the most unlikely hat trick in NHL history, but it was up there. He entered the game with a total of seven goals and 12 points through the first 60 games. Cracknell hadn't turned on the lamp in 11 games dating back to Feb. 11. The three-goal effort shouldn't move the needle much in terms of his fantasy appeal, and he remains useful only in the deepest of pools.
