Corey Perry passes Paul Kariya for 2nd-most hat tricks in Ducks history

In what may be a preview of a postseason series, Corey Perry is having a historic night for the Anaheim Ducks as they face the Pacific-leading Los Angeles Kings on Sunday.

After scoring goals in the first and second period to keep the game tied, Perry capped off his ninth career hat trick to give his team a 3-2 lead - and passed Paul Kariya for the second-most three-goal games in Ducks history.

Perry's night wasn't finished there - he would pick up an assist on a David Perron goal under five minutes later that increased the Ducks' lead to two. The 31-year-old's outburst comes after a four-game pointless drought, with all four of those games against non-playoff teams.

He needs four more tricks to catch arguably the greatest Ducks player of all time.

The Ducks went on to win their eighth consecutive game 4-2.
