Three from the captain.
Colorado Avalanche forward Gabriel Landeskog potted three goals versus the Tampa Bay Lightning on Saturday, including a pair in the final frame.
It marks the second career hat trick for Landeskog, and the second in as many months, as he notched his first in November against the Washington Capitals.
Landeskog improved to 13 goals and 11 assists in 28 games this season. His performance Saturday wasn't enough, however, as the Avalanche clawed back from a 4-0 deficit but ultimately lost 6-5.
