"Unfortunately for Matthews and all of Leafs Nation, this accomplishment came during a Leafs loss, when on Monday at Scotiabank Arena in a 6-3 loss against the Minnesota Wild this future Hall of Famer scored a goal and produced two points to move past Hall of Fame defenceman, the late Borje Salming and into fourth place with 769 total points."
"Since Christmas, Matthews has found great chemistry with linemates Max Domi and Bobby McMann, which has seen him score 11 goals in 12 games, including converting on a highlight reel two-on-one pass from Domi for the Saturday night overtime winner against the Winnipeg Jets. "A lot more pace in my game," Matthews said. "I'm hanging onto pucks more, carrying it through the neutral zone and creating from there.""
Auston Matthews advanced to fourth on the Toronto Maple Leafs' all-time points list with 769 points after scoring in a 6-3 loss to the Minnesota Wild at Scotiabank Arena. Earlier this season Matthews surpassed Mats Sundin to become the Leafs' all-time leading scorer. Matthews began the season slowly, totaling 14 goals in 31 games before the Christmas break, but has surged since, scoring 11 goals in 12 games while developing chemistry with linemates Max Domi and Bobby McMann. Matthews' recent play included a breakaway goal, strong overtime and comeback performances, increased pace, and heavier puck possession and zone entries.
