Nick Bonino with a hat trick, Penguins down Jets 7-4 for third straight win
WINNIPEG — Teammates Nick Bonino and Evgeni Malkin had different kinds of hat tricks on Wednesday.
Bonino led the way with three goals as the Pittsburgh Penguins beat the Winnipeg Jets 7-4 for their third win in a row.
It was his second career three-goal game, scoring the Penguins’ first, fourth and sixth goal to give him 12 on the season.
“The first one went in and you’re always feeling a little bit better, and then it just seemed like the puck was finding the net for (us) tonight,” said Bonino, whose first hat trick was in February 2013 when he played for the Anaheim Ducks.
