It's one thing to score the game winning goal for your team with less than a minute left in the game, it's another thing entirely to score all four goals in the 4-3 win. That's exactly what Detroit forward Anthony Mantha did Sunday night as the Red Wings beat Dallas to start the season 2-and-0. Mantha's game winner came with 53.3 seconds left in the third period.

Detroit, in the midst of a rebuild, now has wins over Nashville and Dallas to start the season.

"We beat two of the best teams out there," Mantha said following Sunday's game. "People rank those two teams among the top 10 in the league."

Over the last 10 games of his third full year in the NHL, Mantha has 22 points. You can see all four of his goals in his monster performance below.

"Confidence has been high since last season. Just putting myself in the right spot."

Mantha is now among some elite company, joining Hall of Fame forward Brendan Shanahan and two-time Stanley Cup champion John Sorrell as the only players to score a natural hat trick for the Red Wings in their home opener. You can see all four of his goals below.
