Auston Matthews could have done more.
The 19-year-old dazzled Wednesday, becoming the first player in history to score four goals in his NHL debut, but after the game he spoke about Kyle Turris' overtime winner, which gave the Ottawa Senators a 5-4 win over the Toronto Maple Leafs.
Matthews was cheating offensively in three-on-three overtime, and it cost him, as he couldn't get back in time to keep Turris from an open look from the slot. The Senator beat Frederik Andersen high, glove side.
"It was definitely my fault," Matthews said after the game, according to Sportsnet's Eric Engels.
The teenager called his four-goal night "pretty surreal," according to ESPN's Pierre LeBrun. He added that it was "mites or something" when he last potted four in a game, and that the night left him speechless, according to TSN's Kristen Shilton.
It's fair to say he left Maple Leafs supporters speechless, too.
