- Viktor Arvidsson’s hat trick came on special day for Bruins forward
Viktor Arvidsson’s big game came on a special day.
The Bruins forward notched his fifth-career hat trick in Boston’s 6-3 win over the Dallas Stars on Tuesday on his daughter Navy’s fifth birthday.
“That was pretty cool I got a hat trick on her birthday,” Arvidsson told reporters after the game . “She’ll be happy, for sure.”

Arvidsson’s three goals put him at 24 for the season. He’s been a big part of the second line’s success with Pavel Zacha and Casey Mittelstadt .
“I think we have fun together, and we put a lot of emphasis on being hard on each other, really pushing each other,” Arvidsson said . “I think in that regard, we’re really happy where we are.”
The Bruins have six points on the Columbus Blue Jackets for the first Wild Card spot and are eight points ahead of the Ottawa Senators , Detroit Red Wings and Philadelphia Flyers — who are below the cutoff line.
The Blue Jackets, Red Wings, Senators and Flyers all lost on Tuesday.

With seven games left in the season, the Bruins are firmly in the playoff picture after missing the postseason last year. Their next chance to get two more points is Thursday when they take on the Florida Panthers on the road.
