Matthews scored a goal Thursday in a 5-0 win over Los Angeles. He had six shots.
EDGE Analysis
The puck was off his stick almost as quickly as it touched the tape. Matthews is riding a six-game scoring streak that includes five goals and five assists. He's up to 31 points in 28 games on the season, and is really starting to get into a groove. Matthews is far off his Rocket Richard pace from last season, but is an elite threat at any time.

Matthews picked up an assist Saturday in a 4-3 overtime loss to Tampa Bay.
EDGE Analysis
He had his three-game goal streak end, but his point streak stands at four games and seven points (three goals, four assists). And the assist really was gorgeous. Matthews had the puck on and off his stick in a split second, and he fed William Nylander for an electric goal in the second period. He had eight shots Saturday, but his shooting percentage of 10.7 percent is well below Matthews' career mark of 16 percent. With even average luck, he'd have six more goals. We expect things to get back to a regular pace soon. He's just too good for it not to happen.

Matthews had a goal and two assists Saturday in a 4-1 win over the Penguins.
EDGE Analysis
Matthews stood out, something that he has struggled to do this season under the tight checking of opponents who have been keying off him every game. He has 200 even-strength goals, becoming just the seventh player in Maple Leafs history to reach the mark. The goal also tied Alex Ovechkin of the Capitals for the most in the NHL since Matthews' made his debut in 2015-16.

Matthews scored a goal and added an assist in a 3-2 overtime loss to New Jersey on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
He's on a three-game, five-point streak (two goals, three assists) and appears to be waking from his scoring slumber. Matthews took a pass from Michael Bunting deep in front of the net and tapped it in on the power play to put the Leafs up 1-0 at 15:15 of the first. It was his eighth goal of the season and sixth on the power play. Matthews hasn't scored at the same rate that he did last season and coach Sheldon Keefe split him and Mitch Marner at even-strength earlier this week, putting the center with Bunting and William Nylander. The move has sparked the Leafs five-on-five, so it could last for a while. Fantasy managers should have no worries about Matthews at this point -- he can produce with any line mates.
