This is not a glitch.

Auston Matthews, all of 14 minutes and 18 seconds into his NHL career, has scored again.
And he did it all on his own, too.

Look, there’s scoring your first NHL goal, which is pretty dang cool in and of itself. And on your very first shot on net, too! And then there’s doing that. Second shot. Second goal. And creating it singlehandedly, dekeing around and charging through every Senator in his path in order to do it.
Welcome to the Auston Matthews age, friends. Knock on wood, and maybe get your hats ready. If not tonight, then maybe for sometime sooner rather than later.
