Celebrating a Nicklas Backstrom Natural Hat Trick

Nicklas Backstrom scored his first regular season hat-trick Saturday (he did it in the playoffs once), tallying the first three goals against Tampa Bay. He’s the first Cap to score three times in a row since Alex Semin did it in 2010, also against Tampa Bay. This will mean Verizon Center’s hat trick display bin will have a new tenant.

And, Backstrom’s reaction to all of this.
