Connor McDavid, among the league's most electrifying young stars, got his first career hat trick behind a few fortunate breaks Saturday night. The Oilers led 4-0 early in the second period when Ruff swapped out Lehtonen for Antti Niemi. Patrick Eaves and Jamie Benn scored for Dallas during a 4-minute power play late in the second. McDavid, named the NHL's youngest ever captain prior to this season, has eight goals after getting one in each period of this one. He finished the hat trick midway through the third period by scooping up a rebound in the left circle and flicking it past a sprawled Niemi.
