The first World Cup hat trick was scored by Bert Patenaude - though under some recent controversy. In 2006, a goal which had previously been attributed to team-mate Tom Florie. The hat-trick was scored on July 19, 1930. Prior to this re-attribution, FIFA had acknowledged the first hat-trick as being scored by Argentine Guillermo Stábile - the first three of eight goals he scored for his country, including at least one goal in every game he played for the national team.
The last player in the NHL to achieve a natural hat trick was Patrick Kane of the Chicago Blackhawks on December 15, 2019. He scored three consecutive goals in the first period without any other player from either team scoring in between.
Plus/minus in the NHL is calculated by subtracting the number of goals scored against a player's team while they are on the ice from the number of goals scored by their team. This gives a measure of a player's overall impact on the game in terms of goals scored and allowed.
