Senators rookie sensation Tim Stützle on Saturday scored the first hat trick of his NHL career in Ottawa's 4-2 win over the Jets in Winnipeg.
Unfortunately, due to COVID-19 restrictions in Canada, fans were not allowed in the building — meaning no one could throw their hats onto the ice to commemorate the moment.
Fear not: He still got some hats.
Local kids in Ottawa decided Stützle should still get a chance to experience the hockey tradition, throwing their hats onto the deck of his house.

Here's a quick recap of his three goals from Saturday:
In his first NHL season, the 19-year-old who was drafted third overall in October has scored 12 goals and 17 assists in 52 games. He'll have a chance to add to that total in the team's final game of the season on Wednesday when they host the Maple Leafs.
