“Triples” Few And Far Between This Year
MONTREAL, Que.— Hat-tricks in the National Hockey League have been few and far between this year. Red Kelly, Detroit’s rushing defenseman, scored the first “triple” of his NHL career on October 21 against the Boston Bruins as the Wings won that one, 5-3 at Detroit. Then on November 28, Leo LaBine the fiery winger of the Bruins, fired the second “triple” of the season by scering three goals against the Detroit Red Wings as the Bruins took that one, 6-2. Incidentally, LaBine set a record that night, picking up five points in a single period. He had an assist on Boston’s first goal for a six-point night. The third hat-trick of the season was scored by Toronto’s Ronnie Stewart against the Montreal Canadiens on December 8. Stewart scored all Toronto goals as the Leafs…

SIDELIGHTS
(Montreal Herald) • THERE’S no hurry about restoring Jacques Plante to regular duty in the nets with NHL Canadiens Frank Selke, generalissimo of hockey operations at the Forum, said recently. The tall poker-faced net guardian who suffered a fractued cheek-bone during a pregarne warm-up more than a month ago is to be given ample time to recuperate from his injury and at the same time gain full mental poise so that he’ll approach the nerve-wracking goaltending chores refreshed both physically and in spirit. Selke also negated the popular idea that Plante might be rehabiliated by a tour with the Royals. “Plante has proven himself a big leaguer, and when he starts back to work it will be with the big league club”, Selke said. “There are two reasons why I want it no other way: “First:…
