Noel Acciari could fry an egg on his blade right now.

The Florida Panthers forward torched the Dallas Stars on Friday with three goals in a span of four minutes to complete the natural hat trick in the 7-4 win. Acciari also notched three tallies against the Ottawa Senators in a 6-1 victory Monday.

The 28-year-old completed the feat with a shorthanded penalty shot in the second period, extending the Panthers' lead to 7-1.

Stars netminder Ben Bishop was pulled prior to the play after allowing four goals on five shots in the frame.

Acciari is only the second player in Panthers history to record a hat trick in back-to-back games, joining Hall of Famer Pavel Bure, according to NHL Public Relations.

The 5-foot-10 winger began his scoring surge with a nifty play in front to shovel home his first marker of the contest.
