"In just two games last week, Matthews scored five goals and earned six total points. The Leafs captain was named alongside divisional rival Nikita Kucherov, who scored 10 points in just three games, and all-time great Sidney Crosby, who scored four goals and eight points in four games. That's a trio that feels right at home being heralded as the top talents in the league."
"Most notably though, aside from scoring five outstanding goals, is that Matthews broke Mats Sundin's historic all-time goals record for the Leafs and with 421 career goals wearing the Blue and White, now stands at the very top among Toronto skaters who could put the puck in the back of the net. Aside from making history, Matthews is re-inserting himself into the top goalscorer conversation."
Auston Matthews scored five goals and collected six points in two games, earning the NHL's Third Star of the Week. He was named among the week's top players alongside Nikita Kucherov (10 points in three games) and Sidney Crosby (four goals, eight points in four games). Matthews broke Mats Sundin's franchise goals record, reaching 421 career goals for the Maple Leafs. Matthews now has 20 goals this season and sits 23rd in league goal scoring. After a poor start to the season, Matthews has resurged and is positioning himself to challenge for a top-three finish in goals.
