2 v. Ottawa Senators

This night was just special in and of itself. In hist first NHL game, he scored four goals. It’s absolutely absurd.

What’s even more impressive is the fact that he scored one of the niftiest goals of the season. He takes the puck from Mark Stone, puts it through Mike Hoffman’s legs, guards it against Kyle Turris and Hoffman, steals it from Erik Karlsson, shoots it before Marc Methot could block it and it ends up behind Craig Anderson.

He literally beat seven opponents singlehanded before scoring the goal. Take a closer look at Matthews’ head just before he shoots. He appears to be dialed in on passing the puck before quickly snapping it in for his second career NHL goal.
