Auston Matthews continues point-per-game pace

by Brendan Ballantyne | Maple Leafs Correspondent | Sat, Oct 26th 9:56am EDT

Auston Matthews potted his ninth goal of the season in Toronto's 4-1 defeat of the Sharks on Friday. He had at least twice as many shots on goal as any other player in the game (6).

Fantasy Impact:

Matthews continued to be threat at even-strength, as this goal was his seventh at five-on-five this season. This is key, as the Leafs power-play has hit a bit of a rut of late, converting on just one of their last twelve opportunities. The Leafs and Matthews have a matchup against the Canadiens on Saturday that could provide a spark for the team. Matthews sniped two goals against Montreal in their previous meeting this season, so continue to deploy him with confidence.
