In Boston’s 7-5 road win over the Los Angeles Kings, Sanderson had a hat trick and assist for four points in the game. His second goal of the game, 14 seconds into the third period, served as the game winner. He scored his hat trick goal just 34 seconds later on L.A. goalie Gerry Desjardins, with help from Glen Sather and Ed Westfall.
