There are two known instances: Maurice Richard in March of 1948 against the Rangers in Madison Square Garden. He actually scored 4 goals in that game.
Rick Nash of Columbus on March 7, 2009 in an 8-2 rout of the Red Wings was the
first to do it in 61 years since.
The hattrick can be recorded in two sports. Hockey and Soccer. In hockey, it is when you score three goals, and in soccer it is when you score three goals.

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! :)
Phil Housley was the last Buffalo Sabres defenseman to score a hat trick (three goals in one game). That occurred on January 22, 1988. Since then many have scored 2 goals in one game, but nobody has reached 3.
Traditionally, any player who scores three goals in a match is given the match ball.
