Blair MacDonald delivered a milestone moment for the Edmonton Oilers on October 19, 1979, scoring the first hat trick in the team’s NHL history. His three-goal night powered Edmonton to a 6–3 win over the Quebec Nordiques, marking their first NHL victory. MacDonald added an assist for a four-point night, while Wayne Gretzky chipped in two helpers. MacDonald went on to tie Marcel Dionne for the NHL lead in hat tricks that season with four. A historic performance in the Oilers’ earliest days.
