Nico Hischier's natural hat trick in the second period led the New Jersey Devils to a 5-2 win over the Nashville Predators on Monday in Newark, N.J.

It was Hischier's first hat trick in his eight NHL seasons, as the forward ended his 10-game goal drought in epic fashion. Despite the recent scoring slump, Hischier leads New Jersey with 13 goals this season.
