Capitals' Hat Tricks

The Capitals have never been known for offense, but they have had a couple of noted snipers on the team over the years. Through skill (2/2/94), sweat (4/20/93), and/or dumb luck (4/9/94) these guys have managed a few hat tricks now and then. Here are the Caps franchise leaders in hat tricks, followed by all the hat tricks in Capitals history up to the end of the 2003-04 NHL Season backwards along with the final score of the game and the victimized goalie(s). Playoff hat tricks are in bold.
