Saturday was the cherry on top for Nick Foligno's career-year.
The Columbus Blue Jackets forward recorded his first career hat trick and 30th goal of the season in a 5-3 win over the struggling Pittsburgh Penguins. The Penguins led the game 2-0, but couldn't hang on to the lead.
The win set a Blue Jackets franchise record with their ninth straight win.
Foligno has 30 goals and 70 points in 75 games, both career-bests.
