As I was double-checking the stats for this week's POTW nominees (thus far nominated), I was reminded of This article:
My question, then, is... Is this the first-ever Shorthanded Hat Trick on one 2-minute minor penalty? If so, I say give the man the DII/III Frontpage! Heck, this might even deserve the DI frontpage!
EDIT: Man, I wish I could read... he scored 2 on one penalty, and one on the next a minute later. Still impressive.
Niagara scored three shorthanded goals on the same penalty kill in topping Canisius before a sell-out crowd of 2,100 at Dwyer Arena.
Niagara scored all three shorties in the second period after Derek Foam was whistled for interference at the 11:55 mark. Sam Goodwin converted on a 2-on-1 with Danny Baco just 27 seconds into the penalty kill. Then 30 seconds later, Mironov scored on a breakaway and Dan Sullivan’s point shot 36 ticks later finished the trifecta.
Niagara’s shorthanded output was the 12th time in NCAA history a team scored three shorthanded goals in a single game and also the second time that it happened during the 2008-2009 season. It is the second time that three shorthanded goals were scored on the same minor penalty kill, something that Burkholder was excited about.
