Matthews scored a power-play goal on four shots, added an assist and blocked four shots in Thursday's 6-5 shootout loss to the Sharks.
EDGE Analysis
Matthews has five goals and five helpers over his last seven outings, with seven of those 10 points coming on the power play. The 27-year-old center has had a down year by virtually every metric, though time lost to injuries is a factor. He's still at a strong 28 goals, 38 helpers, 227 shots on net, 74 blocks and an even plus-minus rating over 57 appearances, but his 12.3 shooting percentage is the second-lowest of his career.

Matthews delivered two assists Saturday in a 5-2 loss to the Predators.
EDGE Analysis
Matthews has seven points (four goals, three assists) and 21 shots in his last five games and 63 points, including 27 snipes, and 221 shots in 55 contests this season. The superstar is having a down year by his standards, but Matthews is still cruising at a 90-plus point pace. And he still has 22 points on the power play after averaging 29 over the previous three seasons. That's valuable.

Matthews scored a goal Saturday in a 4-2 loss to Ottawa.
EDGE Analysis
The goal was a gimme, but they all count. Matthews put the Leafs up 2-1 in the second period after intercepting the puck after Linus Ullmark misplayed the puck when he was attempting to clear it. The sniper put the puck into the open net. Matthews has 24 goals and 33 assists in 51 games this season. Sure, that's disappointing to fantasy managers, but the pivot can explode offensively in any game.

Matthews delivered a goal on a team-high six shots and an assist in Sunday's 6-5 overtime win over Pittsburgh.
EDGE Analysis
In addition to extending his point streak (two goals, 11 helpers) to nine games, Matthews reached the 700-point mark in his 607th career game. The star center's marker at 4:08 of the second period was his 390th NHL goal, which puts him second in Maple Leafs history behind Mats Sundin (420) and ahead of Darryl Sittler (389). Matthews has provided 22 goals, 29 assists and a plus-4 rating through 45 outings in 2024-25. The 27-year-old will have a strong chance at extending his point streak to 10 games Monday against a San Jose club that allows 3.70 goals per game this season, the worst mark in the league.
