Matthews collected two assists in Tuesday's 5-2 win over the Penguins.

EDGE Analysis

Both helpers came on Michael Bunting goals in the second period. Matthews hasn't really gone on one of his patented hot streaks yet this season, but the 25-year-old superstar still has seven goals and 17 points through 17 games, and it's only a matter of time before the goals start coming in bunches.

Matthews struck for a power-play goal Saturday in a 3-2 win over the Canucks.

EDGE Analysis

It was his first goal in four games. Matthews took a feed from Mitch Marner on the right side of the high slot and got off a wicked quick-release wrister that went high glove side on Spencer Martin. He has seven goals and eight assists in 16 games this season.

Matthews recorded an assist in Sunday's 3-1 win over the Hurricanes.

EDGE Analysis

Matthews cleared the puck to William Nylander, who knocked it down and then won a battle on the rush to score Toronto's third goal. The helper extended Matthews' point streak to four games (four goals, two assists). For the season, the star center has six tallies, seven helpers, 61 shots on net, 29 hits and eight PIM through 13 contests. This was the first game of the campaign that he's failed to record a shot on goal.

Matthews scored two goals in a 2-1 win over the Bruins on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Matthews has scored in three straight games and has five goals (six points) in his past five games. The first goal came on a quick backhand play from around the post and past Linus Ullmark's blocker. The second was a power-play marker after William Nylander carried the puck around the net and found Matthews in tight. It was his first multi-goal game of the season.

Matthews had a goal and an assist -- both on the power play -- to go with eight shots on goal in Wednesday's 5-2 win over the Flyers.

EDGE Analysis

Matthews tied the game at a goal apiece in the first period and assisted on John Tavares' third goal of the night in the third. In between, Matthews consistently generated chances en route to a season high shot total. After scoring only one goal through seven games, Matthews has found the form that helped him pot 60 last season, lighting the lamp in three of his last four games.

Matthews netted a power-play goal in Toronto's 4-3 overtime loss to Anaheim on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Matthews, who scored a career-high 60 goals in 2021-22, got off to a slow start with just one goal on 34 shots over his first seven games of the season. He's been heating up lately though, netting two goals over his last three contests. That's pushed him up to three goals and eight points in 10 games this season.

Matthews scored a power-play goal on seven shots in Thursday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Sharks.

EDGE Analysis

Matthews was due -- he'd gone five games without a goal, a drought he last endured in April of last season. The center's goal was a big one, as it tied the game at 3-3 in the third period. The 25-year-old is up to two tallies, five assists, 40 shots, 21 hits and a plus-3 rating through eight contests this season. One of the game's best at lighting the lamp, Matthews should get back to his explosive ways eventually, with Thursday perhaps a launchpad for that.

Matthews, who was held off the score sheet Monday against Vegas, has one goal and five assists in his first seven games.

EDGE Analysis

Matthews is due for a goal breakout. He has wired 33 shots in those games and it's only matter of time before he finds twine. And it's important to remember that Matthews had just a single goal in his first six games last season, and still managed 60 goals, and a Rocket Richard and Hart Trophy.

Matthews drew three assists, leading the Maple Leafs to a 4-1 victory over the Jets.

EDGE Analysis

Matthews, who missed Friday's practice, returned to the ice Saturday and produced his first multi-point game this season. The 2022 Maurice "Rocket" Richard Trophy winner entered Saturday with one goal among three points in five games. After resting the day earlier, Matthews, who added four shots and two hits Saturday, earned helpers on John Tavares' two power-play goals and Michael Bunting's empty-net tally.

Matthews set up the game-winning goal in overtime Thursday in a 3-2 victory over the Stars.

EDGE Analysis

It was his 200th career assist. He dished a nice pass to Nick Robertson on a three-on-one rush in overtime and the rookie made no mistake on a one-timer past Scott Wedgewood. Matthews has three points (one goal, two assists) in five games so far, but has still managed 24 shots under heavy checking from the opponents' best. It's only a matter of time before he explodes offensively.
