Alex DeBrincat is providing some light in an otherwise dark season for the Chicago Blackhawks.
The rookie forward snapped a 13-game goalless skid in style Sunday night, recording his third hat trick of the season to break the franchise record for hat tricks by a rookie, previously set by Steve Larmer in 1983.
