    1) Yes it has happened once in NHL history, Calgary's Theoren Fleury performed the shorthanded hat trick on March 9, 1991 in St. Louis in a Calgary 8-4 victory

    2) No. Since the 3 division/conference format, only the 98-99 Hurricanes finished worse than 6th in a conference

    I'm sure that there has been shorthanded hat tricks although I can't think of any LOL.

    As for your 2nd question, no because the top three seeds in each conference are all division winners.

  • 1. Idk

    2. Not possible since the division leaders are ranked 1,2, and 3rd in the conference. But I think back in 99 or 00 Carolina won the southeast but they had less points then the 8th seed team.

  • 1) No, I don't think so. If there was, I'd bet it was Gretsky or another Oiler from one of their Cup years.

    2) Can't happen, the division leaders are ranked 1-3 in the conference despite final points. It's always beem like that since they instituted the 'top 8' playoff format

    2. For what group did he commence donning extensive sort ninety 9 for? hint : ESPN the magazine did a great article in this college, yet didnt point out this little reality. It began in his OHL 3 hundred and sixty 5 days. He replace into taking part in for the Sault Greyhounds and the jersey extensive sort 9 replace into already worn by ability of a set mate. So the coach got here up with the belief of donning ninety 9.
