Neal’s hat trick propels Predators to victory March 15, 2016

James Neal did the heavy lifting last night, scoring all three goals in Nashville’s 3-2 win over Edmonton. It was Neal’s sixth career hat trick, and 2^nd since joining Nashville from Pittsburgh in June of 2014.  The rugged winger has been a dependable scorer wherever he has played, registering 20 or more goals in all 8 of his NHL seasons. The Whitby, Ontario-native already has 26 goals in 2015-16, putting him on pace for his highest scoring output since 2011-12.
