 TORONTO (AP) - Jordan Staal capped a tight game with his first career hat trick in a city he dreamed about playing in. Staal scored his third goal of the game at 3:54 of overtime to lead the Pittsburgh Penguins to a 6-5 victory over the Toronto Maple Leafs on Saturday night.
Staal has seven goals in the last five games for the Penguins, who have points in 13 straight games (11-0-2) for the first time since a 14-game run (12-0-2) from Dec. 19, 1996, to Jan. 21, 1997.
The 18-year-old forward — from North Bay, Ontario — said he was nervous playing in front of a national television audience on CBC's "Hockey Night in Canada."
