How many hat tricks does Connor McDavid have so far in his career?

Connor McDavid is part of a select group of top players who have met all of the criteria to be considered one of the best players in NHL history (NHL).

The 26-year-old player, who made his NHL debut in 2015, has already received multiple achievement awards, putting him in the running to become one of the greatest NHL players.

In his eight years as a professional hockey player, Connor McDavid has recorded a total of 12 hat tricks in his NHL career.

On November 19, 2016, he played against the Dallas Stars and recorded the first hat trick of his professional career. It is interesting to note that Connor entered the game without a goal in his previous 10 games, but he silenced all of the doubters who had been pointing fingers at him by scoring three beautiful goals on the night.

He also scored a hat trick for the 12th time in his career on October 28, 2022, when the Oilers defeated the Chicago Blackhawks 6-5.

Since Connor McDavid is just 26 years old and still has a lot of time left in his career, we can anticipate that the number of hat tricks that he has scored will continue to rise in the years to come.
