Filip Forsberg recorded his second consecutive hat trick for the Nashville Predators in a 4-2 home victory over the Colorado Avalanche on Thursday.
Forsberg had a hat trick in the Predators’ previous game, Tuesday’s 6-5 overtime loss to the Calgary Flames. The 22-year-old Swede is the first NHL player to score three goals in consecutive games since Vancouver Canucks forward Alexandre Burrows on Jan. 5 and 7, 2010.
“I just try to attack the game,” said Forsberg, who has four NHL hat tricks and his nicknamed ‘Scoresberg’ by his teammates. “I think our line did a good job of that today. Just try to play fast and go forward and obviously try to find each other. I think we got a couple of goals and a couple of good looks earlier than that as well.”
