It took a bit, but the KHL finally saw its first hat-trick of the season. Its author was Finnish forward Miro Aaltonen, in his second year in St. Petersburg. The 27-years-old was sensational last week, especially on Sunday, when he netted a hat-trick against Neftekhimik in SKA’s 5-2 home win. It was also Aaltonen’s first treble in the league — the prolific scorer never scored three in a game, but had two in five different occasions, most recently on Jan. 2, 2019, when he scored both goals as Vityaz knocked out Ak Bars 2-1.
