Major new details emerge about Toronto Maple Leafs Auston Matthews
Auston Matthews is on track for a historic season and may set himself already as one of the best Maple Leaf players of all time with 51 goals in 54 games! Since the all-star break, number 34 has 11 goals. The forward has a total of 6 hat-tricks this season and is projected for 76 goals this season. Truly historic.
Matthews breaks historic stat
Auston Matthews scored goals 50 and 51 in the Maple Leafs 6-3 win versus the Arizona Coyotes in his hometown of Arizona making himself the fastest American Born Player to score 50 goals the quickest. It also made him the quickest to score 50 goals since the great Mario Lemieux in 1996!
Truly remarkable by "Papi" who is scoring at an incredible pace and considering the immense improvement in terms of goaltending today compared to the NHL decades ago.
It has truly been an incredible season for the Leafs star after a down year in the 2022-23 facing injury concerns, the American put up only 40 goals in 72 games. He has the chance to score over 76 goals for the first time in over three decades which is a record held by Teemu Selanne, Ducks Legend.
With Matthews' monster season, can the Toronto Maple Leafs finally get it done for the first time since 1967?
