Barrett Hayton nets franchise’s first hat trick in loss to Kings

by Bruno Mulé | Hockey Club Correspondent | Sun, Feb 23rd 5:22pm EST

Barrett Hayton scored three times—including two power-play goals and an even-strength tally—during Utah’s 5-3 loss to Los Angeles on Saturday. His hat trick marked the first in franchise history.

Fantasy Impact:

Hayton had been held goalless for eight straight games prior to this breakout performance, but he’s quietly on pace for a career year. The 24-year-old has 15 goals, 32 points, and 102 shots through 57 games, while maintaining a plus-4 rating. His top-six role and increased power-play involvement make him a viable fantasy option in deeper formats, especially if he can sustain this offensive momentum.
