Max Pacioretty nets a hat trick, gets two penalty shots in same period

Montreal Canadiens forward Max Pacioretty had a historic night on Thursday night. Against the Vancouver Canucks he was awarded two penalty shots in two minutes in the second period and became the first player in NHL history to have two penalty shots in one period. He didn’t score on either one, but that didn’t matter, he managed to score a hat trick anyways.

According to @EliasSports, Montreal's Max Pacioretty became the first player in #NHL history to miss 2 penalty shots in a single game.
