Auston Matthews 69 goals in 81 games, most goals scored since Lemieux in 1995-96

Six hat trick opponents:

Montreal
Minnesota
Buffalo
Calgary
Philadelphia
Anaheim

Impressive nonetheless. Not many hat tricks across the league let alone multiple in one season.
Yes, just like a lot of Judge’s HR’s in his 62 HR season were off bad pitchers. Who cares?
 
Seems much more impressive in todays game. Though I don't know goals/game played for 92/93 and 23/24.

It is

3.63 in ‘93
3.10 in ‘24

Teams averaged half a goal more per game back then, they also played 84 games back in ‘93
