Alex Ovechkin didn't have the only Wild-related hat trick Tuesday night.
Luke Kunin, the team's No. 1 draft choice in 2016, tallied one for the Iowa Wild in a victory over Rockford in his third game as a professional. Kunin decided to leave the University of Wisconsin earlier this month after the Badgers completed their season, and the next issue is how quickly he'll be playing in Minnesota.
Iowa beat Rockford 4-0. Kunin's third goal was an empty-netter that sealed the victory.
Alex Tuch, the Wild's first-round pick in 2014 scored the other goal.
