4. Mikhail Sergachev

Another day, another iconic outfit from Mikhail Sergachev. The Utah Mammoth defenseman rolled up to Bridgestone Arena sporting a tan trenchcoat, a fur trapper hat – or ushanka in Russian – and completed the looks with shades before he played against the Nashville Predators on Saturday. The outfit proved to be good luck as Sergachev recorded three assists in the Mammoth's 5-2 win over the Predators.

5. Jason Robertson

Jason Robertson scores goals for litter-ly one reason. The Dallas Stars forward was asked if he scored his 30^th goal of the season for his cat, Murphy, in a postgame press conference . “Every one (goal) is for my cat,” Roberston responded. On Tuesday, the Stars forward autographed a fan's poster of a cat before the team’s game against the St. Louis Blues at Enterprise Center.
