Marner's Hat Trick Powers Knights Over Flames

0:00On April 3rd, Mitch Marner dropped a hat trick and two assists for five points total, powering the Vegas Golden Knights to a 6-3 win over the Calgary Flames on April 3rd, 2026, at T-Mobile Arena. Ivan Barbyshev chipped in with a goal and two assists while Shay Theodore dished two helpers, marking Marner's first hat trick since joining Vegas, and his fourth in the league overall. The Knights grabbed their second straight victory under new coach John Tortorella with Carter Hard back in net after missing 33 games due to a lower body injury stopping 19 shots. For the Flames, Blake Coleman lit the lamp twice and Morgan Frost added one, but they couldn't hold leads after a brutal 9-2 loss to Colorado. Earlier in the week, as Dustin Wolf made 28 saves, Vegas flipped the script late with power play magic and quick rebounds, sealing the deal as Marner wrapped around for the empty netter, keeping there. Layoff pushed alive in a tight Western conference race.
