Matthews scored a goal Saturday in a 6-3 win over the Hurricanes.

EDGE Analysis

Matthews' goal extended his point streak to five games (one goal, seven assists). The goal was his 21st of the season, but more impressively, it was his 389th NHL goal (603 games). That moves him into a tie with Leafs' great, Darryl Sittler (844 games), for second all-time in franchise history. Mats Sundin leads the Leafs all-time with 420 (981 games).

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.

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.

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.
