Auston Matthews looked like an established star in his NHL debut Wednesday night.
And the No. 1 overall pick of the Maple Leafs made some history in the process.
Matthews recorded the quickest hat trick ever for a player making his NHL debut (since 1943-44), then went and became the first to score four goals in his first game, doing it all on opening night against the Senators in Ottawa.
Matthews became the fifth player overall to notch a hat trick in his debut, joining Derek Stepan of the New York Rangers (2010), Fabian Brunnstrom of the Dallas Stars ('08), Real Cloutier of the Quebec Nordiques (1979), and Alex Smart of the Montreal Canadiens (1943).
