NHL Robs Flames Player Of First Career Hat Trick

Matthew Coronato collected his first NHL hat trick on Thursday night as the Calgary Flames defeated the Anaheim Ducks 4-1 at the Saddledome. However, shortly after the game ended, the NHL adjusted one of the goals, awarding it to Blake Coleman, thus robbing Coronato of his hat trick accomplishment. OFFICIAL SCORING CHANGE - Game 818@AnaheimDucks at @NHLFlames Goal at 19:16 of the second period now reads Blake Coleman from Matt Coronato. #NHLStats — NHL Public Relations (@PR_NHL) January 31, 2025 Down 1-0 going into the second period, Adam Klapka evened things up just 15 seconds into the middle frame before Coronato took over the scoring. At 19:16, the 22-year-old fired a shot from the slot that beat John Gibson to give Calgary their first lead. Although Coleman picked up the initial assist on the play, further review showed that Coronato's shot deflected off Coleman and past the Ducks goalie, resulting in a goal change. However, in real-time, Coronato scored his first goal and added his second, an insurance tally, in the third with 3:40 to go. As time ticked down and the Ducks opted to pull their goalie, Coronato fired the puck the length of the ice into an empty net as hat rained down the standings. Matt Coronato picks up his first career hat trick!!!@NHLFlames | #Flames | #NHLTonight — NHL Network (@NHLNetwork) January 31, 2025 At the buzzer, everyone in attendance believed that Coronato had just scored his first hat trick since the 2020-21 season when he was with the Chicago Steel in the USHL, but by the time they got home, the NHL had adjusted the goal. Despite losing out on a milestone hat trick on Thursday, the next time Coronato scores three goals, it will be an even more memorable moment that everyone can look back on with a chuckle. In 45 games this season, the former 13th overall pick (2021) has 13 goals and 14 assists for 27 points.
