Rattie opened the scoring 7:32 into the game, taking a pass from Ryan Nugent-Hopkins and popping a shot top corner. He tallied again on a power play with 1:10 left in the second. Jujhar Khaira and Kailer Yamamoto worked the puck free and Rattie’s shot slipped through Anders Nilsson’s glove.

Jesse Puljujarvi scored twice in 3:08 in the third period. Rattie completed the hat trick when he one-timed a pass from Connor McDavid on a two-on-one. Oscar Klefbom added a goal in the final minute.

“I feel really good right now,” Talbot said. “My body feels good, I feel healthy and I came into camp and I didn’t want to have a start like last year. I was extra motivated.”

Rattie has seven goals in three pre-season games, and says playing with McDavid has given his game a big boost.

“He’s a very good player to begin with, and so is [Nugent-]Hopkins,” Rattie said. “I like to think of myself as a little bit higher hockey IQ and I know what they can do with the puck — I know they can both beat guys by themselves so get open and find open space. You’ve got your chances, you’d better be burying them.”
