VIDEO: Leo Carlsson's hattrick tallies Ducks' only three goals in loss to Flyers
Leo Carlsson, the rising star of the Anaheim Ducks, etched his name into the team's history books despite a 6-3 loss to the Philadelphia Flyers. At just 18 years old, Carlsson showcased his exceptional skill and goal-scoring prowess, recording his first NHL hat trick.
The young forward's performance made him the youngest player in Ducks history to net two goals in a single game. Furthermore, Carlsson's achievement extends beyond Anaheim, as he becomes only the 19th player in NHL history to secure a hat trick at the tender age of under 19.
The first of Carlsson's three goals came at the 13:15 mark, a power-play snipe assisted by Alex Killorn and rookie standout Mason McTavish, narrowing the score to 3-1 in favor of the Flyers.
Demonstrating his scoring versatility, Carlsson followed up with a wrist shot at 18:32, another power-play goal assisted by Troy Terry and Ryan Strome, making it 5-3. His third tally, a snapshot at 10:34, assisted by Killorn and Dmitrii Mintyukov, brought the score to 4-2.
Despite Carlsson's spectacular individual effort, the Flyers, led by Owen Tippett's two goals and Travis Sanheim's goal with two assists, emerged victorious. The Ducks, now 7-6-0 for the season, faced their second consecutive loss after an impressive six-game winning streak.
