Slafkovsky has just confirmed a surprising rumour after his hat trick

Tuesday night, Juraj Slafkovsky had quite the game. In addition to scoring his first career hat trick, he ended the night with six shots on goal.

The worst part is that the young man wasn't feeling well before the game. He stated in his press briefing that he had a cold and did not sleep well during his nap before the game.

That was the word going around before the game, and Slafkovsky confirmed it:



Wow! It's major to see that he's able to perform so well under such difficult circumstances.


Just imagine if he had been in shape...

The now 20-year-old young man will surely keep a very good memory of this April 9, 2024. He even kept one of the hats thrown on the ice to remember this moment in the years to come.


However, the first star of the game did not take all the credit. He extensively praised his teammates who served him those three goals on a silver platter!


It will be interesting to see if Slafkovsky can reach the 20-goal mark for the first time in his career. To do so, he will have to score just one goal in the next four and last games of the CH!
