Evander Kane 130
Wayne Gretzky 136

That hat-trick was Kane's fifth as an Edmonton Oiler, and in doing so in just 130 games, he passes Gretzky as the quickest to do it in an Oilers jersey, doing so in six fewer games than The Great One.

It remains to be seen whether or not this team can go all the way in the Stanley Cup Playoffs, but for now, Kane has passed Wayne Gretzky in one category, and it's certainly an impressive one.
