Really, watch this deflection. It's absolutely ridiculous. Randy Hahn called Pavelski "The best tipper in all of the National Hockey League!" and we dare anyone to disagree after seeing that.
The final goal of the hat trick was a little easier than the others. With just over a minute left in the third period, with the Sharks up 4-3, the Red Wings had pulled their goalie for the extra attacker. There was a face-off in the neutral zone, and Pavelski won it. Hertl gathered the puck, then passed it back to Pavelski, who backhanded the puck from past the red line to complete the natty hatty.
