As far as I know, there have only been two unassisted hat tricks in the history of the NHL...
Maurice Richard did it in March of 1948 against the Rangers in Madison Square Garden. If I'm not mistaken, I believe he actually scores four goals in that game.
Rick Nash did it in 2009, 61 years later (ironically, 61 is also Nash's number)...
I was actually at the game in which Nash scored the unassisted hat trick; it was awesome!
...hope this helps! :)
Apparently there have four. The most recent and the only one I'm sue about is NYR Derek Stepan.

The Amateur Hockey Association of Canada was formed in 1888, with four teams in the league. Teams were located in Montreal, Ottawa and Quebec City. This is the first known organized (and official) league in Canadian history. However, there were most certainly other non-organized leagues with teams that played before 1888. If anyone knows what these teams were please add to this answer. I know the Ottawa Senators were the first team in Ottawa, and they formed in 1883. The first recorded description of Ice Hockey in Canada is from 1825, but it wasn't until 1875 that a puck (made of wood) was used, rather than a ball, or "Bung". That game in 1875 was the first organized indoor game, at Montreal's Victoria Skating Rink, and was played between two teams of 9 players from McGill University.
These also happen to be the best hockey players ever. I would say that in order, Bobby Orr, Wayne Gretzky, Mario Lemieux, Gordie Howe, and Maurice Richard. There's not too many other players that will be considered by anyone as the best player ever (or best candian player).

The National Hockey League was formed in 1917, and featured the Toronto Arenas, Montreal Canadiens, Ottawa Senators, and the Montreal Wanderers. The Wanderers arena burned down about 6 games into the season, and the team disbanded. Fortunately, the league fared better and grew. For more information on the growth of the league, look for questions about "Who are the original six teams" and the like. I'm pretty sure I've typed it before. :-)
