Watch: Matthews nets hat trick vs. Canadiens
Dan Hamilton-USA TODAY Sports / USA TODAY Sports
Auston Matthews makes it look so easy.
The Toronto Maple Leafs forward beat Montreal Canadiens goaltender three times to pick up the hat trick in his club's 5-1 victory on Monday. Matthews tallied two goals in the first period and then used a breakaway chance early in the third period Monday - sliding a puck past Montoya - to top it all off.
Matthews would later pick up an assist on William Nylander's third goal of the preseason to give him four points on the night. With the trio of goals, Matthews now has four during this exhibition season.
