Through a period and a half on Tuesday night, the Dallas Stars and Vegas Golden Knights were deadlocked at 0-0.
That was, until Radek Faksa took off.
The Stars center netted three goals in less than seven minutes to give Dallas the 3-0 lead after two periods. His natural hat trick was also the first of the 23-year-old's career.
No. 12 on their team got a goal there's nothing we can do about it, it's the Faksa life. The Faksa life. The world never seems. To be living, up to our dreams😢

His first came with nearly seven minutes left in the second period, when Faksa caught a great pass from Dan Hamhuis right in front of the net.
His second goal came with less than 30 seconds left in the period. Faska snagged the loose puck in front of the net and got it past Vegas goalie Malcolm Subban to put the Stars up 2-0.
Then, just eight seconds later, Faksa was at it again. He caught a pass from teammate Antoine Roussell and took it home to complete the natural hat trick.
In total, his natural hat trick took just 6:46.
