"On Saturday night, Toronto Maple Leafs captain Auston Matthews made some team history when he scored his 420th and 421st goals with the organization against the New York Islanders. In doing so, Matthews surpassed all-time great Mats Sundin for the most goals in franchise history. With the way that the current Leafs captain plays every night for Toronto, the goals mark likely won't be the only franchise record that will be rewritten."
"Sundin holds the record for most points in a Maple Leafs uniform with 987, just 13 shy of 1000. As we progress down this records list, you will find that the star Swede has actually set many of the Leafs marks. For Matthews, currently sits in fifth with more than 227 points separating him from Sundin. As Matthews averages about 80 points per season since joining the NHL, it should take him another three years to catch Sundin."
"As one of the lethal weapons on the Leafs power play, it shouldn't be long before Matthews heats up again and goes berserk with the man advantage to score more than the dismal four that he currently has with the team's struggling power play in 2025-26. After all, he averages double digits in power play goals each year, including a career-high 18 during the 2023-24 season."
Auston Matthews scored his 420th and 421st goals for Toronto, surpassing Mats Sundin as the franchise's all-time goals leader. He ranks fifth in franchise points with 760, trailing Sundin's 987 by 227 points; at about 80 points per season, that gap could close in roughly three seasons. Matthews has 108 power-play goals, third in team history and 16 behind Sundin's 124; a single high-output season would likely push him past that mark. He has 66 game-winning goals, second to Sundin's 79, and is on pace to challenge other long-standing franchise records.
