Buffalo Sabres winger Jeff Skinner had the game of his life in a 5-3 win against the Montreal Canadiens.

Skinner had more than a hat trick: He scored four goals in the Buffalo Sabres latest win. So now it bodes the question, who will score the next hat trick? While the Sabres are still struggling to find consistency in the goal scoring realm, they have put up some highlight reel performances.

And they have enough forwards on the team capable of replicating the type of game Skinner had. So, which three Sabres are the likeliest candidates to score the next hat trick? Two of the names listed below you may nod your head at. But I also placed an unexpected name into the final slide.

A name that, although he’s struggled with inconsistency this season, has shown he can score when he hits a hot streak. Let’s meet these three players capable of going on a scoring frenzy for Buffalo.
