Matthews scored a goal Thursday in a 4-2 win over the Coyotes.

EDGE Analysis

Matthews ended a two-game goal drought in the second period to make it 3-0 when he took a pass from linemate William Nylander and shot high-glove from the slot. It stood as the winner. It was Matthews' league-leading 53rd goal. He's 13 goals ahead of second-place Zach Hyman, and he's on pace to tally more than 70 goals. Only two players in history -- Mario Lemieux and Mike Bossy -- have scored goals at faster pace than Matthews, who has 351 goals in 538 games (0.65 goals per game). With luck, Matthews could challenge the Great One atop the all-time goals list.

It was his fifth hat trick this season. Matthews scored three straight goals in 7:49 in the second period.

Matthews completed his first natural hat trick late in the frame when he went high glove side through a screen. He's tied with three other Maple Leafs, including Darryl Sittler, for the team's single-season hat trick leader. And Matthews is one of only three players in the past 30 years to record at least five hat tricks in a season, joining Jonathan Cheechoo (five in 2005-06) and Mario Lemieux (six in 1995-96).

With the Maple Leafs on a 2-man advantage late in the third period, Mathews took a pass from Mitchell Marner and absolutely wired a slapshot past Connor Hellebuyck. This was the 26-year old's third goal in as many games and his seventh in his past five. He is now on pace to score 70 goals on the season, eclipsing his career best of 60 goals in the 2021-22 season. Not only was it his 40th goal, it was also his 600th NHL point, making him the fastest Maple Leaf to ever reach that mark. Matthews is now off to the NHL All-Star game in Toronto.

EDGE Analysis

With less than a minute left in OT, Matthews got free in front of the Winnipeg net and redirected a Morgan Rielly pass behind Laurent Brossoit. It was Matthews's league-leading 39th goal, and while dreams of a true 50-in-50 season have slipped away -- he'd need 11 in the next four games -- the 26-year-old remains on pace for the NHL's first 70-goal campaign since 1992-93, when Teemu Selanne and Alexander Mogilny each racked up 76.
