In the highest-scoring debut in modern NHL history, Matthews scored four goals for the Toronto Maple Leafs, but Kyle Turris scored 37 seconds into overtime to give the Ottawa Senators to a 5-4 victory Wednesday night. Matthews got his fourth with 3 seconds left in the second period, bringing his mother to tears in the stands. Matthews scored on his first shot 8:21 into the first period, snapping in a pass from Zach Hyman during a scrum around the net. Matthews scored on his first three shots of the game. After the third goal, Matthews' mom was shown on the broadcast high-fiving fans and covering her face in disbelief.
