Toronto Maple Leafs center Auston Matthews has become only the fifth player in NHL history to start a season with back-to-back hat tricks. After putting three goals past the Canadiens on Wednesday, Matthews had another three goals reserved for the Wild Saturday night, striking once on the power-play in a 7-4 win. Alex Ovechkin was the last player to score a hat trick in each of the first two games of a season in 2017-2018, and three players -- Cy Denneny, Joe Malone, and Reg Noble -- achieved the feat in 1917-18. Matthews has registered four consecutive 40-goal campaigns and looks well on his way already to hit the mark again in 2023-24.--Taavi Pailk
