Matthews scored twice on the power play and added two assists in Saturday's 5-3 win over the Canadiens.
EDGE Analysis
Matthews posted his second straight four-point game. His remarkable run is almost beyond description at this point. The superstar center is on a 16-game point streak, during which he has 18 goals, 10 helpers, and a plus-12 rating. He simply can't be stopped right now, so fantasy managers should keep the top-five talent locked into their lineups.

Matthews put up a four-point night Thursday in a 7-3 win over the Senators. He had a goal and assist on the power play, and the same at even strength.
EDGE Analysis
His scoring streak sits at 15 games which is just three games from tying the franchise record. Matthews is putting up Hart-worthy production. He has been held off the scoresheet just once -- the second game of the season. Since then, Matthews has scored 16 goals and put up eight assists in those 15 contests. Plus his two-way game has taken a jump and his ability to steal pucks from opponents is becoming Datsyukian. He's one of the best fantasy activations in the NHL.

Matthews tallied a goal on two shots Wednesday in a 2-1 win over Ottawa.
EDGE Analysis
Matthews extended his point streak to 14 games with his second-period goal, opening the scoring on a scorching one-timer from the bottom of the right circle. It was his NHL-leading 14th goal of the season -- three better than Vancouver's Brock Boeser -- and 10 of them have come at even strength. No one has been able to keep Matthews off the scoresheet since Ottawa pulled it off Jan. 15, the second game of the season.

Matthews scored two goals, one on the power play, and added an even-strength assist in Monday's 6-5 overtime loss to the Senators.
EDGE Analysis
His second tally of the night gave the Leafs a seemingly unsurmountable 5-1 lead with less than a minute left in the second period, but the team's offense went cold down the stretch as the Sens staged a stunning comeback. Matthews' point streak now stands at 13 games, a stretch during which the 23-year-old superstar has amassed an incredible 13 goals and 19 points.

Matthews picked up an assist in Saturday's 2-1 loss to the Canadiens.
EDGE Analysis
And with that, Matthews' point streak sits at 12 games (11 goals, five assists). It's clear Matthews has elevated his game into the next layer of the atmosphere -- he's faster and fitter, and now he's adjusting his game based on intense video work. Matthews drew not one, not two, but three defenders toward him behind the net and then fed a wide-open Mitch Marner in the slot on the Leafs' only goal. Not only is the big center on track for a Rocket Richard, but his name is already being whispered for the Hart. Matthews is a fantasy cornerstone.

Matthews provided an assist, three shots on goal and two blocked shots in Wednesday's 4-2 win over the Canadiens.
EDGE Analysis
Matthews set up Zach Hyman for the empty-net goal at 18:56 of the third period. The 23-year-old Matthews has only been held off the scoresheet in one of his appearances this year -- he's riding a personal 11-game point streak. The star center is up to 11 goals, five helpers, a plus-7 rating and 55 shots on net through 13 outings.

Matthews scored a goal on two shots, doled out four hits and went plus-2 in Monday's 3-1 win over the Canucks.
EDGE Analysis
Matthews broke a 1-1 tie at 9:22 of the third period, extending his league lead in goals with his 11th tally of the season. The superstar center is up to 15 points, a plus-6 rating, 52 shots on net and 19 hits through 12 appearances this season. The physical play is a new factor in Matthews' game -- he had just 40 hits to go with 47 goals and 80 points in 70 contests last year, and he's never really come close to averaging a check per game.

Matthews scored twice on four shots and was plus-3 in Saturday's 5-1 victory over the Canucks.
EDGE Analysis
Matthews was lethal once again. He undressed Vancouver defenseman Jalen Chatfield and flicked one top shelf in the first period to give the Maple Leafs a 2-0 lead, then he jumped on a Holtby giveaway and went five-hole early in the third to make it 4-0. The performance gave Matthews sole possession of the NHL goal-scoring lead with a blistering 10 goals in 11 games. He'll draw a rematch Monday with a Canucks team that is bleeding defensively, having allowed 23 goals in its last four.

Matthews potted a pair of goals on a game-high seven shots in Thursday's 7-3 win over Vancouver.
EDGE Analysis
Matthews' first goal was a thing of beauty. The 23-year-old blazed through all three zones before beating Thatcher Demko five-hole to open the scoring just under three minutes into the game. He added another goal 3:04 into the second period, converting a slick Mitch Marner backdoor feed from a difficult angle. Matthews is off to a terrific start to the season, collecting points in eight of his first nine games.

Matthews scored a goal in Saturday's 4-3 overtime loss to Edmonton.
EDGE Analysis
It was a stunning goal -- he threaded the needle high over Mikko Koskinen's shoulder from almost the goal line. It was a perfect shot. But Oilers' superstar Connor McDavid scored two goals, including a gorgeous end-to-end rush, and added an assist. Connor may have won the night, but Auston stretched his goal streak to five games and he's on a better-than-60 goal pace.
