Another playoff hat trick for a Finnish forward the Dallas Stars acquired in a trade during the regular season. This time, it was a first for Mikael Granlund. Not yet another three-goal game for Mikko Rantanaen. Granlund’s first career postseason hat trick accounted all of the goals for the Dallas Stars in their 3-1 win Tuesday night that put them up 3-1 in their second-round Western Conference series against the top-seeded Winnipeg Jets. Granlund scored in each period. The 33-year-old in his 13th NHL season and with his fifth team, had scored multiple goals only one time in his previous 69 playoff games. The Stars got Granlund from San Jose on Feb. 1. Rantanen was a deadline acquisition March 7 from Carolina.
