Matthews scored twice in a Saturday's 3-2 win over Montreal.

EDGE Analysis

The goals came within 27 seconds in the first period to stake the Leafs to a 2-0 lead. And with them, Matthews became the first player in 25 years to score 50 in a 50-game span. He continues to stake his case for the Hart trophy on top of the Rocket Richard.

Matthews scored two goals on 12 shots in Thursday's 4-3 overtime win over Dallas. The first came on the power play and the second was the overtime winner.

EDGE Analysis

Matthews raised his goal total to a league-high 56. His first tally broke a tie with Rick Vaive for the most goals in a single season by a Maple Leaf, but rather than sit back and admire the accomplishment, Matthews immediately set his sights on greater heights. In overtime, he broke into the zone alone and went around all three Dallas skaters, as well as goalie Scott Wedgewood, to deposit the game-winner on his 12th shot of the night. It was a fitting ending to one of the most memorable games in what's been a historic season for the American superstar.

Matthews dished out three assists - two on the power play - in Tuesday's 7-6 overtime loss to the Panthers.

EDGE Analysis

One night after scoring a hat trick, Matthews put on his playmaking hat and contributed three assists as the Maple Leafs raced out to a 5-1 lead. Momentum swung Florida's way after that point and Matthews couldn't swing it back in Toronto's direction despite totaling eight shots on goal. While the blown lead is disappointing, Matthews can take solace in pushing his point total up to 95 in 65 games.

Matthews scored three goals including the game-winner and added an assist in Monday's 6-2 victory over the Lightning.

EDGE Analysis

It was an historic night for Matthews. Not only did he extend his current goal streak to six games and his point streak to 13, the 24-year-old superstar tied Toronto's franchise record for goals in a season with 54, matching Rick Vaive's mark from the 1981-82 campaign. The hat trick was the seventh of Matthews' career, and over that 13-game point streak he's amassed a stunning 17 goals and 24 points. Next up after he claims the Leafs' goal record for himself? Reaching the century mark in points for the first time, as he sits on 92 through 64 contests.

Matthews scored his league-leading 51st goal in Saturday's 6-3 win over Philadephia.

EDGE Analysis

It was a classic one-timer on a net-circling skate and feed from Mitch Marner in the third. Matthews has a goal in five straight games and extended his personal point streak to 12 games (14 goals, six assists). It's also his 250th goal in just 397 games, which makes him the eighth-fastest NHLer in history to reach that mark. Who else is on that list? Wayne Gretzky (302), Mike Bossy (315), Mario Lemieux (324), Brett Hull (328), Alex Ovechkin (366), Teemu Selanne (388) and Jari Kurri (389).

Matthews scored his 50th goal of the season in Thursday's 7-3 win over Winnipeg. He also added an assist.

EDGE Analysis

Matthews scored into an empty net with 2:06 left in the third period. He's the first to 50 this season and he did it in 62 games, and at this pace Matthews is headed to a 62-goal season. If he hits that mark, he will become the all-time franchise leader in goals for a single season.

Matthews scored the game-winning goal on the power play and added an even-strength assist in Tuesday's 6-4 win over the Bruins.

EDGE Analysis

His second-period tally seemed like an insurance tally at the time as it gave the Maple Leafs a 5-1 lead, but a late Boston rally made the final score close. Matthews has found the back of the net in three straight games and has a 10-game point streak going in which he's racked up 12 goals and 17 points.

Matthews scored an empty-net goal on three shots, dished an assist and went plus-2 in Sunday's 5-2 win over the Panthers.

EDGE Analysis

Matthews hit the empty cage from his own defensive zone with less than a second left in regulation. That goal gave him a career-best 48 on the season, a mark he achieved in just 60 appearances. He's at 83 points, 274 shots on net and a plus-12 rating. The Maple Leafs have 17 games left in the season, so Matthews has a realistic chance to be the first player to hit the 60-goal mark since Steven Stamkos in 2011-12 if he can maintain his current 0.8-goals-per-game pace.

Matthews scored his league-leading 47th goal of the season in a 4-2 loss to Montreal on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

It was a nice way to mark the end of his suspension. He fired 10 shots and also rang the post (and hard) twice. Matthews is back in the saddle and his 46 goals put him five ahead of Edmonton's Leon Draisaitl (41). He has goals in six straight (nine) and 11 points in that span, and sits tied for fourth overall in NHL scoring (79 points).
