In a sensational performance last night, Auston Matthews of the Toronto Maple Leafs etched his name into the annals of NHL history. The superstar center became only the fifth player in the league's illustrious history to accomplish a remarkable feat: recording a hat trick in each of his first two games to kick off a season.
Matthews' extraordinary achievement puts him in the company of hockey legends. The exclusive club, which now counts Matthews as its latest member, previously featured iconic names such as Alex Ovechkin (2017-18), Cy Denneny (1917-18), Joe Malone (1917-18), and Reg Noble (1917-18).
With an incredible display of skill, precision, and goal-scoring prowess, Matthews has not only solidified his status as one of the NHL's top talents but has also made a historic mark in the world of hockey. As the season unfolds, fans will undoubtedly be eager to witness the further exploits of this scoring sensation.
