Dustin Byfuglien #52, scored his first NHL hat trick on Friday. At 22 years old the defenseman is looking like the next big thing to swoop into the Hawks line up. The 6′3″ Minneapolis native is a hard working, hard hitting player who hit his stride against the Phoenix Coyotes. The hat trick consisted of two power play goals and a goal at 5:01 from Sergei Samsonov. This is only the second hat trick for the Hawks this season when Patrick Sharp scored in quick succession on the Detroit Red Wings on November 17th. This is the only hat trick scored on home ice in the United Center in 3 years, about time guys!

A fast start allowed the Hawks to make quick work of the Coyotes, FINAL SCORE Phoenix 1, Chicago 6
