On October 15, 2026, Brady Tkachuk scored a natural hat trick in the second period of the Panthers' win over the Columbus Blue Jackets, then tied the game with about 12 seconds left and won it in overtime against the Vancouver Canucks the next night. He is the third player in NHL history with natural hat tricks in back-to-back games. The discussion has since added that it is the first natural hat trick in NHL history with a brother assisting on all three goals, while the earlier talk about his streak after six goal-less games and his postgame claim about Panthers fans remains part of the story.
