Brady Tkachuk scored a natural hat trick while his brother Matthew supplied three assists in the Florida Panthers' 7-3 win over the Columbus Blue Jackets on Tuesday night, Bleacher Report said.
What happened
The Panthers trailed 1-0 before Brady struck twice in the second period, completing the third‑fastest hat trick in franchise history in just over eight minutes. Matthew added three assists, including a franchise‑record for assists in a single period, and both brothers later helped set up a Carter Verhaeghe goal.
What the reports add
Bleacher Report notes Brady is the ninth player ever to have his brother set up three goals of a hat trick, the first since Daniel and Henrik Sedin in 2015. It also mentions the brothers last combined for points while playing for Team USA at the 2026 Milan‑Cortina Olympics.
What was said
"For sure, felt that pressure… felt like I wasn't doing my job, and wasn't good enough, but knew eventually it was going to come," Brady told ESPN after the game.
