Philadelphia Flyers forward Claude Giroux became the third player in the league this season to reach 100 points, joining Connor McDavid and Nikita Kucherov on Saturday.
In doing so, Giroux also became the first Flyers player to hit the century mark since Eric Lindros racked up 115 points in 1995-96.
Perhaps more importantly, Giroux's hat-trick performance against the New York Rangers helped the Flyers clinch a playoff spot.
