Sheldon Keefe under fire for benching Auston Matthews in pursuit of 70

And get this – it wasn't just any goal. Matthews nailed it in the third period of their 5-2 victory against the New Jersey Devils, bringing his total for April to five goals in just four games.

Now, here's where it gets even more exciting. If Matthews keeps up this pace, he could join the elite club of players with 70 goals in a single season. That would be the 15th time in NHL history that milestone's been reached. Yet there's only three games left in the season, so he'll need to keep scoring at this crazy rate to make it happen.

However, in a surprising move, Leafs coach Sheldon Keefe sent out David Kampf instead of Matthews when the Devils pulled their goalie for an empty net. Fans were shocked!

Everyone's wondering if Matthews will get that chance for goal number 67 before the season wraps up.

And let's talk awards – if Matthews hits the 70-goal mark, most hockey fans are saying he's a shoe-in for the Hart Trophy. It's going to be an exciting finish, that's for sure!
