TLDR: Tyrel Bauer got a Gordie Howe hat trick in 7 minutes 23 seconds in the Jets wild comeback against the Habs!
Tyrel Bauer received a fighting major with 9:20 remaining in the third period of the Jets vs Habs game. After serving his penalty, he came out of the box and proceeded to score a goal and record an assist, all within 40 seconds of each other. His assist came with just 1:57 remaining on the clock.
That means he completed a Gordie Howe hat trick in just 7 minutes and 23 seconds of game time!
My question is: Are there any documented examples of a Gordie Howe hat trick being completed faster?
I think this could be a contender for the fastest Gordie Howe hat trick ever! #sport source
