It's an encouraging effort from Matthews and for the Leafs after the 26-year-old center was held off the scoresheet in Game 1. Matthews posted a league-high 69 goals and 107 points in 81 regular-season games. |

Matthews was held without a point despite a game-high 12 shots on net in Wednesday's 6-4 loss to the Lightning. - Neither team had anything to play for in the standings, but Matthews needed only one goal to become the ninth player in NHL history with 70 in a season, so his Leafs teammates fed him the puck at every opportunity. The closest he came to lighting the lamp was when he rocketed a shot off the post behind Matt Tomkins in the second period. Matthews instead had to settle for a franchise record 69 goals in 81 games, and his 107 points were a career high as well as the fourth-highest total in Toronto history, behind Doug Gilmour (127 in 1992-93 and 111 in 1993-94) and Darryl Sittler (117 in 1977-78). |

He had 106 in 2021-22. The Leafs finish the season with two road games in the state of Florida on Tuesday and Wednesday. So, 70 goals is in his crosshairs. |

Matthews has three games remaining, but don't count on him playing all of those games. Yes, he's looking to hit the 70-goal mark, but remember that the Leafs sat Mitchell Marner last year when he had a real shot at 100 points. There are no guarantees, and the postseason is the priority. |

Matthews 64 goals matched Connor McDavid's total from last season, which was the most in a season since Alex Ovechkin scored 65 in 2007-08. He's on a 10-game, 18-point streak that includes nine goals. The Leafs have six more games before season's end, and anything is possible -- including 70 goals -- given Matthews' current pace. |

Matthews scored a power-play goal in Wednesday's 4-1 loss to the Lightning. - The 26-year-old superstar blasted a one-timer past Andrei Vasilevskiy with exactly one minute left in the first period to tie the game at 1-1, but the rest of the night belonged to Tampa. Toronto has seven games left on its schedule, and Matthews is seven goals away from 70 -- a plateau no NHLer has reached in over three decades.

And he's the ninth NHLer with two or more 60-goal seasons, joining Mike Bossy (five), Phil Esposito (four), Mario Lemieux (four), Brett Hull (three), Bure (two), Jari Kurri (two) and Steve Yzerman (two). And to think his game Saturday was mid at best. Wow. |

He'll need 13 goals over Toronto's last 14 contests to reach 70, but it's not an impossible task for him -- Matthews scored 13 in 12 during the month of February alone. |

Matthews notched two assists during Tuesday's 4-3 loss to Philadelphia. - While not the goal explosion we are used to from Matthews, he did pick up two assists including one on the power play to start the third period. The 26-year old added four shots, one hit and a minus-1 rating in 23:04 of ice time. In his last five games, Matthews only has one goal and three assists to show for it. The recent slowdown in goals shouldn't be a major concern. He's still generating points and his shooting talent suggests a return to top goal-scoring form very soon. |

Matthews has delivered 14 goals and 22 points in 15 games since the All-Star break, and he's pulled away in the race for the Rocket Richard Trophy with 54 goals in 61 games on the season -- nine tallies ahead of second-place Sam Reinhart. |

It stood as the winner. It was Matthews' league-leading 53rd goal. He's 13 goals ahead of second-place Zach Hyman, and he's on pace to tally more than 70 goals. Only two players in history -- Mario Lemieux and Mike Bossy -- have scored goals at faster pace than Matthews, who has 351 goals in 538 games (0.65 goals per game).

Matthews completed his first natural hat trick late in the frame when he went high glove side through a screen. He's tied with three other Maple Leafs, including Darryl Sittler, for the team's single-season hat trick leader. And Matthews is one of only three players in the past 30 years to record at least five hat tricks in a season, joining Jonathan Cheechoo (five in 2005-06) and Mario Lemieux (six in 1995-96). |

Matthews scored a power-play goal on three shots in Saturday's 4-2 win over the Jets. - Matthews has done it again - 40 times to be exact. With the Maple Leafs on a 2-man advantage late in the third period, Mathews took a pass from Mitchell Marner and absolutely wired a slapshot past Connor Hellebuyck. This was the 26-year old's third goal in as many games and his seventh in his past five.

Not only was it his 40th goal, it was also his 600th NHL point, making him the fastest Maple Leaf to ever reach that mark. Matthews is now off to the NHL All-Star game in Toronto. |

His absence will disrupt his four-game goal-scoring streak in which he's recorded seven tallies and 10 points.

Matthews scored twice and added an assist Thursday in a 6-5 overtime loss to Columbus. - Matthews is in the midst of a four-game, seven-goal (10-point) scoring streak, and he's on pace for a whopping 69 goals. The last guy to get 69? Mario Lemieux (1995-96). It would be Matthews' second 60-goal campaign and that would put him in heady company. Only eight players in NHL history have hit 60 twice, with Lemieux the most recent. The others? Wayne Gretzky, Mike Bossy, Phil Esposito, Brett Hull, Jari Kurri, Pavel Bure and Steve Yzerman. Even if he only manages 40, it would be the sixth time in eight seasons that he's managed that feat. And if Matthews wins the Rocket Richard again -- which he's leading right now -- it would be his third. The only other NHLer in history to win that trophy more than twice is Alex Ovechkin (nine). Matthews is having an epic season, and honestly, his game was meh until recently. How good can this guy be? Suddenly that question seems rhetorical. |

And it seems to have produced results. Matthews is too good for this slump to continue. Get ready to hold onto your hat, because he's about to take off. |

Matthews scored a goal and added an assist in Toronto's 4-1 win over Washington on Tuesday. - Matthews got his first assist of the season in the second period when he hit William Nylander with a great stretch pass in the second period, and the winger swung around the Caps' defender and roofed the puck. Then Matthews scored at 15:07 of the second on a one-timer top cheddar from the left circle on the power play. It was the 26-year-old's only shot of the game, and he played just 18:51 (19 shifts) after averaging over 23 minutes a game thus far. It's likely a rest game for the superstar who is quickly cementing his place as the greatest Leaf of all time (GLOAT). Matthews has 140 road goals, which ties him with Dave Keon for fourth in Leafs history. And his 79 power-play goals tie him with Wendel Clark for the fourth most PPG in club history. |

He joins Alex Ovechkin (2017-18), Cy Denneny (1917-18), Joe Malone (1917-18) and Reg Noble (1917-18). Matthews is dialed in and healthy, and that's fantastic news for the Leafs and fantasy managers alike. |

The 26-year-old center finished the 2022-23 campaign with 40 goals and 85 points in 74 games. |

Matthews will see more regular time on the penalty kill this season, reports The Athletic. - Matthews has only seen a total of about 24 minutes on the PK in nearly 500 NHL games. And he's never really killed penalties, period, but that's about to change. Matthews is one of the NHL's best 5v5 players and always among the league leaders in takeaways. So, the threat of a steal -- and of AM34 taking off shorthanded with a lot of open ice -- will certainly put extra pressure on opposing PPs. Matthews won't be one of the Leafs top options on the PK -- those minutes belong to Mitchell Marner, David Kampf and Calle Jarnkrok, with Sam Lafferty getting some, too. The only negative? Playing on the PK means that 5v5 time always drops a bit. That's less than ideal if you're one of the NHL's best 5v5 players, especially for fantasy managers needing that even-strength production. But it won't be enough to affect his draft spot or overall fantasy worth. |

Matthews agreed to a four-year, $53 million contract extension with Toronto on Wednesday. - Matthews has one campaign left on his existing five-year, $58.195 million contract, so he's now committed to playing with the Maple Leafs through 2027-28. His $13.25 million cap hit is set to be the highest in the league in 2024-25, but Matthews' pay can be justified after reaching the 40-goal milestone in each of the last four years, including 2021-22, during which he scored 60 goals and 106 points in 73 outings en route to capturing the Hart Trophy. Matthews is also turning just 26 years old on Sept. 17, so this contract will only cover years in which he's in his prime. |

Matthews had two assists -- one on the power play -- in Tuesday's 7-3 Game 1 loss to the Lightning - Matthews remarkably finished the game with a plus-1 rating, but before you absolve him of blame for this blowout loss at home, consider that Matthews also played 4:54 on a Toronto penalty kill that gave up four goals. The first overall pick in the 2016 NHL Entry Draft has 17 goals and 18 assists through 40 playoff games, but he has yet to win a series in his career, and Matthews will need to play better for Toronto to finally get over the hump for the first time since 2004. |

The success of the John Tavares-Ryan O'Reilly-William Nylander line has taken some of the pressure off of Matthews to be the leading force in Toronto's offense, though games like Sunday prove he can do it himself as well. |

It was his eighth goal of the season and sixth on the power play. Matthews hasn't scored at the same rate that he did last season and coach Sheldon Keefe split him and Mitch Marner at even-strength earlier this week, putting the center with Bunting and William Nylander. The move has sparked the Leafs five-on-five, so it could last for a while. Fantasy managers should have no worries about Matthews at this point -- he can produce with any line mates. |
