Watch: Sissons completes hat trick to send Preds to Stanley Cup Final
Christopher Hanewinckel / USA Today Sports
Colton Sissons has officially reached legend status in Nashville.
The Predators center, thrust into an increased role due to injuries to Ryan Johansen and Mike Fisher, delivered the game of his life Monday night, bagging a hat trick to secure his club a berth in their first-ever Stanley Cup Final.
Sissons' third goal came at 14:00 of the third period on a beautiful feed from Calle Jarnkrok, and appropriately sent the Bridgestone Arena crowd into pandemonium.
Nashville would end up adding two empty-netters for a 6-3 final.
