"What a treat for all Maple Leafs fans around the world to have a player like yourself representing the Toronto Maple Leafs. And even more importantly, you're a great person and a great leader for the Toronto Maple Leafs. Congrats, from Stockholm, Sweden!"
"What's most impressive about Matthews' goalscoring tally is the speed at which he has achieved it. Sundin's 420 goals came in 981 career games played in the blue and white sweater, while Matthews achieved the feat in just 663 games. Matthews' production has been quieter the past two seasons, but he's seen things pick up over the last few games, with six goals in his last four matches."
Auston Matthews surpassed Mats Sundin to become the Toronto Maple Leafs' all-time goalscoring leader. Mats Sundin sent a video message from Stockholm congratulating Matthews and praising his leadership and character. Sundin still holds the Leafs' all-time points record with 987, while Matthews ranks fifth all-time with 758 points and is ten points behind Borje Salming for fourth. Matthews reached the franchise goal mark in 663 games compared with Sundin's 981 games in Toronto. Matthews, age 28, remains behind Sundin's overall career goal total of 564 but has scored six goals in his last four games as Toronto chases a playoff spot.
