1997: Mark Messier of the New York Rangers scores three goals for his 19th NHL regular-season hat trick in a 5-2 win at the New York Islanders. Messier's hat trick was the first by a Rangers player at Nassau Coliseum in the 25-year history between the two rivals. It's also the final hat trick of his NHL career.
2002: Mark Messier joins Gordie Howe, Larry Murphy and Ray Bourque as the only players to skate in 1,600 NHL games. The milestone comes in a 2-1 victory for the Rangers against the Atlanta Thrashers at Philips Arena.
