Jason Robertson, or also known as “Robo,” went viral over the weekend when an impressive hat trick performance during a Dallas Stars win against the Anaheim Ducks catapulted him to the top goals scored spot in the NHL. He is also second in total points with 39 behind league leader Connor McDavid of the Edmonton Oilers (43.) Roberston was also recently named the NHL’s First Star of the Month for the month of November!
