Matthews registered an assist and four shots on goal in Sunday's 5-2 win over the Blackhawks.
EDGE Analysis
Matthews' point streak is up to six games, during which he's racked up a goal and eight assists. He had a helper on Jake McCabe's second-period go-ahead goal in this contests. The lack of goals is unusual for Matthews, but it's good to see him remain productive while potentially showcasing a bit more playmaking. The 27-year-old is in his ninth campaign and has 21 goals, 26 assists, 167 shots on net, 55 blocked shots and a plus-3 rating over 42 appearances.

Matthews (upper body) picked up two assists in a 3-2 overtime loss to Canada in the 4 Nations Face-Off championship game on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Coach Mike Sullivan shifted Matthews to a line with Matthew Tkachuk and Brady Tkachuk, replacing Jack Eichel in the first period. The move paid quick dividends with Brady scoring on the second shift for the trio. Matthews finished the tournament with three assists and six shots in three games. The Leafs and fantasy managers should have some concern for the underlying injury that continues to flare up for Matthews. But his strong two-way play in this tournament demonstrated his superstar status. The Leafs play Saturday; it remains to be seen if Matthews or any of the 4 Nations players will be given an extra game's rest.

Matthews put up an assist Thursday in Team USA's 6-1 victory over Finland at the 4 Nations Face-off in Montreal.
EDGE Analysis
He played a quiet, effective game while his teammates, namely Matthew Tkachuk and Brady Tkachuk, exploded offensively. Matthews rang the crossbar early that Juuse Saros saw on his blade and then didn't even flinch as the puck whistled by his ear. Matthews was jeered by the Montreal crowd, in part because of his uniform and part because of his NHL one. He'll deliver in this tournament, and his next chance comes Saturday against Team Canada.

Matthews picked up an assist in a 2-1 loss to the Canucks on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Matthews extended his point streak to four games (seven assists). He has gone six games without a goal, but it's not for a lack of trying. Matthews has rung up 27 shots in those six games. Overall, the superstar has 20 goals, 25 assists and 161 shots in 40 games this season. His shooting percentage remains depressed at 12.4, well below his 15.9 career mark and 18.7 from last season when he popped in 69 goals. Matthews will tickle twine soon enough -- he's too talented for this goalless streak to go much farther.
