<p><a data-in-app-uri="thescore:///nhl/players/5586" href="https://www.thescore.com/nhl/players/5586">Auston Matthews </a>seems to have taken his game to another level.</p><p>The Toronto Maple Leafs superstar came into this season as arguably the most reliable goal-scorer in the NHL, but his ability to find the back of the net has gone from incredible to otherworldly in recent months.</p><p>Matthews registered a hat trick less than halfway through Saturday's 9-2 drubbing of the Anaheim Ducks. He racked up only 14:52 of ice time because of the lopsided nature of the contest. He added a pair of assists, giving him his first career five-point game.</p><div class="the-score-article-ad-unit"></div><figure class="article-segment--embed"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet">

"It's pretty remarkable," Maple Leafs head coach Sheldon Keefe said postgame.</p><p>Matthews has notched three goals in consecutive games for the second time this season. He's the first NHL player with back-to-back hat tricks on multiple occasions since Wayne Gretzky in 1983-84, according to <a href="https://twitter.com/SNstats/status/1759027428242948154">Sportsnet Stats</a>.</p><p>Keefe noted that other teams are well aware of the pace Matthews has been on, but perhaps the most impressive part of his game is that he keeps finding ways to light the lamp.</p><p>"As much as Auston has been scoring, you know teams are talking about him," Keefe said, adding, "And one of the greatest things about Auston is he continues to find ways to get available and get to spots."</p><p>Matthews also set a franchise record with his sixth total hat trick this season, which is the most for any player since Mario Lemieux had six in 1995-96.

"Definitely pretty cool."</p><p>The three-goal barrage puts Matthews' season total at 48 goals through 53 games, and he's now on pace for just under 75 tallies. No one has reached that rarefied air since Alexander Mogilny and Teemu Selanne each scored 76 during the 1992-93 campaign.</p><p>Matthews will look to add to his total Monday afternoon when the Leafs travel to St. Louis for a matinee against the Blues.</p>

<p>Despite a perfect 13-0 season, Florida State was on the outside looking in when the College Football Playoff semifinal participants were announced Sunday.</p><p>The Seminoles had to settle for the fifth spot in the rankings, watching Michigan, Washington, Texas, and Alabama get the coveted positions instead. </p><p>Florida State athletic director Michael Alford didn't mince words while offering his disappointment with the selection committee's decision.</p><div class="the-score-article-ad-unit"></div><p>"The consequences of giving in to a narrative of the moment are destructive, far-reaching, and permanent," Alford said in a <a href="https://seminoles.com/news/2023/12/3/football-statement-from-michael-alford-vice-president-and-athletics-director-florida-state-university">statement</a>. "Not just for Florida State, but college football as a whole."</p><p>Florida State became the first Power 5 conference champion to go undefeated and yet still be left out of the top four since the College Football Playoff was instituted in 2014. Texas and Alabama were selected ahead of the Seminoles despite both suffering losses, which Alford believes to be a travesty.</p><p>"The argument of whether a team is the 'most deserving or best' is a false equivalence," Alford said. "It renders the season up to yesterday irrelevant and significantly damages the legitimacy of the College Football Playoff."</p><p>Florida State head coach Mike Norvell was equally incensed by the decision, questioning the committee's process and what the selection will ultimately mean for college football.</p><p>"I am disgusted and infuriated with the committee's decision today to have what was earned on the field taken away because a small group of people decided they knew better than the results of the games," Norvell <a href="https://x.com/FSUFootball/status/1731387330278351135">said</a>. "What is the point of playing games?"</p><p>"What happened today goes against everything that is true and right in college football," he added. "A team that overcame tremendous adversity and found a way to win doing whatever it took on the field was cheated today. It's a sad day for college football."</p><p>The decision by the selection committee was made in large part due to the quarterback situation for FSU. Star QB <a data-in-app-uri="thescore:///ncaaf/players/128710" href="https://www.thescore.com/ncaaf/players/128710">Jordan Travis</a> sustained a devastating injury against North Alabama, and backup <a data-in-app-uri="thescore:///ncaaf/players/148653" href="https://www.thescore.com/ncaaf/players/148653">Tate Rodemaker</a> missed the ACC Championship Game against Louisville, leaving the Seminoles down to their third-stringer at the most important position. This adversity should have fueled Florida State's candidacy rather than hurt it, according to Alford.</p><p>"The fact that this team has continued to close out victories in dominant fashion facing our current quarterback situation should have enhanced our case to get a playoff berth earned on the field," Alford said.</p><p>Travis echoed Alford's thoughts, lamenting his injury coming so late in the season and unfairly, in his mind, taking the opportunity away from his teammates.</p><figure class="article-segment--embed"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
<p lang="en" dir="ltr">devastated. heartbroken. In so much disbelief rn, I wish my leg broke earlier in the season so y’all could see this team is much more than the quarterback.

The hope is for the UFC to rebook Jones versus Miocic at some point in 2024 once Jones has healed from his injury, reports <a href="https://twitter.com/marcraimondi/status/1717050104522350603">ESPN's Marc Raimondi</a>.</p><p>The fight was supposed to be the first heavyweight title defense for Jones after he secured the belt in his debut in the weight class by choking out Ciryl Gane just over two minutes into the first round of their UFC 285 fight in March. Miocic hasn't fought in the Octagon since losing the heavyweight title to Francis Ngannou at UFC 260 in March 2021.</p><p>UFC 295 is scheduled for Nov. 11 at Madison Square Garden in New York City.</p>

Not only are they competing, but many of the Canadians are favorites to take home awards.</p><div class="the-score-article-ad-unit"></div><p>Brendan Fraser has the shortest odds at <a href="https://thescorebet.app.link/ecR1Y2Qv3xb"><strong>theScore Bet</strong></a> (-165) to earn Best Actor for his performance in "The Whale." The same goes for Sarah Polley at -260 with "Women Talking" to win Best Writing - Adapted Screenplay. Along with Fraser, Adrien Morot is also nominated for his work on "The Whale" (+110) for Best Makeup and Hairstyling.</p><p>In the Best Documentary Feature category, Daniel Rocher and Odessa Rae's "Navalny" is the favorite to win (-260), while fellow Canadian Ina Fichman's "Fire of Love" is just behind at +260.</p><p>Also featuring a pair of Canadian nominations is the Best Animated Feature category, though in this case both Domee Shi's "Turning Red" (+1600) and Chris Williams' "The Sea Beast" are considered longshots. As is "The Flying Sailor" from directors Wendy Tilby and Amanda Forbis (+1800) to win Best Animated Short.</p><p>And the longest shot of all the Canadians to win Sunday night also happens to be the most well-known. James Cameron's "Avatar: The Way of Water" is up for Best Picture, but with extremely long odds of +10,000.</p><h3>theScore Bet Specials</h3><p>The following special markets are on offer over at theScore Bet ahead of Sunday's show:</p><p><strong>Ontario Director Special</strong><br>Avatar The Way Of Water To Win Best Production Design &amp; Best Visual Effects (+620)</p><p><strong>Irish Oscar Specials</strong><br>Brendan Gleeson Or Barry Keoghan To Win Best Supporting Actor (+400)<br>Colin Farrell Or Paul Mescal To Win Best Actor (+900)<br>The Quiet Girl To The Win Best Intl.

</script></figure><p>This is a tough one as <strong>Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert</strong>'s film ("Everything Everywhere All at Once") is set to possibly dominate the evening, but if there's one thing the Oscars love to reward, it's the majesty of film. <strong>Steven Spielberg</strong> ("The Fablemans") does just that with a semi-autobiographical story that details his early years as a filmmaker, the type of content voters just adore.</p><figure class="article-segment--embed"><iframe title="Best picture" aria-label="Table" id="datawrapper-chart-OqQin" src="https://datawrapper.dwcdn.net/OqQin/1/" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" style="width: 0; min-width: 100% !important; border: none;" height="405" data-external="1"></iframe><script type="text/javascript">!function(){"use strict";window.addEventListener("message",(function(a){if(void 0!==a.data["datawrapper-height"]){var e=document.querySelectorAll("iframe");for(var t in a.data["datawrapper-height"])for(var r=0;r<e.length;r++)if(e[r].contentWindow===a.source){var i=a.data["datawrapper-height"][t]+"px";e[r].style.height=i}}}))}();
</script></figure><p>While it would be fun to see an absolute blockbuster like "Top Gun: Maverick" take home the big prize, that doesn't tend to be the academy's style. Instead, this year it could be another film that has been adored by both critics and fans alike, that far exceeds its expectation at the box office, and that has dominated in the precursor awards. Since it was released nearly an entire year ago last March, "Everything Everywhere All at Once" has been seen as a potential Oscar favorite.<br><br><em>*Odds subject to change</em></p><p><em>Please Play Responsibly. 19+.

"We battled hard but when you're spending a third of the game trying to kill penalties it puts an awful lot of burden on those guys."</p><p>The loss dropped Pittsburgh to 22-15-7 on the year as the Pens currently sit in fifth place in the Metropolitan division.
