Matthews Could Become First Player in NHL History To Record 3 Consecutive Hat Tricks

He was one of 5 players to record a hat trick in both of the first two games of the year.
Now, Matthews has a chance to make history. No player in NHL History has recorded 3 consecutive hat tricks, and Matthews has a chance at the feat tonight.
