EDGE Analysis

The 26-year-old center has seven goals and 16 points in his last eight contests. Matthews is up to 98 points through 73 games this season as he looks to surpass the 100-point threshold for the second time in his eight-year NHL career.

EDGE Analysis

It's the second time in his NHL career that Matthews has reached the mark. He also hit it in 2021-22, when he scored 60 goals in 73 games. Matthews is the first two-time 60-goal scorer since Pavel Bure of the Canucks (1992-93 and 1993-94). 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.

Matthews scored a goal and added an assist in a 6-3 win over Edmonton on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Matthews is riding a three-game, nine-point streak that includes three goals. His empty-netter on Saturday marked his league-leading 58th snipe. Matthews is two goals from equaling his career mark set in 2021-22, and he's just 12 from the 70-goal plateau. Teemu Selanne is the last NHLer to hit the 70-goal mark (1992-93).

Matthews scored two goals and added three assists, one on the power play, in Wednesday's 7-3 win over the Capitals.

EDGE Analysis

The 26-year-old center scored his 56th goal of the season just 16 seconds into the first period before potting his 57th midway through the second frame, and all three of his helpers came after that. The five points tied Matthews' single-game career high, and in addition to his league-leading goal total, he's up to 89 points through 67 games, keeping him on pace for his second 100-point campaign. 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.

EDGE Analysis

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.

EDGE Analysis

With less than a minute remaining in the extra frame, Mitchell Marner took the puck behind the Buffalo net and found Matthews in the slot for a one-timer. That ended a two-game drought for the NHL's goal-scoring leader, which is the longest the 26-year-old has gone without lighting the lamp since late November. 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.
