Matthews scored his 30th goal of the season Monday in a 5-3 win over the Sabres.
EDGE Analysis
The goal extended his point streak to four games and five points (three goals, two assists). But more importantly, Matthews became the first Maple Leaf in franchise history to score 30 goals in each of his first three seasons. You know what to do.

Matthews is one goal from his third-straight 30-goal season.
EDGE Analysis
When he snags his next snipe, Matthews will be the first Maple Leaf in team history to have accomplished that feat. The team has a long history and elites such as Dave Keon, Syl Apps, Ted Kennedy, Darryl Sittler and Mats Sundin. But Matthews is already heading into uncharted territory. He has 103 goals and 189 points in 191 NHL games so far.

EDGE Analysis
Matthews has five goals and 10 points in his last six games. Four of the points, including three of the goals, have come on the power play. Matthews may have missed time to injury this season, but he's still on track to score 40 goals. The guy is a fantasy beast.

Matthews notched a goal and two assists Tuesday to help his team earn a 5-2 win over Colorado.
EDGE Analysis
It's a shame that Matthews had to miss 14 games this year, or he'd be making a run at the Art Ross Trophy. As it is, he now has 50 points on the year and has 25 each in goals and assists, showing just how versatile he can be. He's fantastic to have on your team.

Matthews is expected to sign a contract extension with the Leafs in the coming days. The deal will reportedly be a five-year contract worth $11.5 million annually, per Bob McKenzie of TSN.
EDGE Analysis
Signing Matthews to a long-term extension has been a priority for the Leafs since the league year started. By getting it done now, the Leafs will not only avoid another William Nylander-esque holdout, but also can then begin working on an extension for pending restricted free agent Mitch Marner.

Matthews delivered a goal and an assist in Friday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Red Wings.
EDGE Analysis
Matthews only has three goals in 11 games since the calendar flipped to 2019, but he's found the net in back-to-back games to get fantasy owners excited about him again after a brief slump that saw him skate to a minus-6 rating over three straight pointless outings.

Matthews scored his first goal in seven games in Wednesday's 6-3 victory over Washington.
EDGE Analysis
You could see the joy and relief on this face as he yelled in joy. Matthews has been snakebitten since before Christmas and this goal was just his second in 14 games. Perhaps more importantly, he got the power-play monkey off his back -- this was Matthews' first marker with the man advantage in 14 contests. He heads off to San Jose for this weekend's All-Star festivities. Hopefully he can translate this break into a fresh start next week.

Matthews is encouraged by the progress his agent is making on a contract extension with the Maple Leafs, reports Sportsnet.ca.
EDGE Analysis
Matthews is set to become a restricted free agent on July 1, but the Leafs will have him inked long before then. "They're [agent and general manager Kyle Dubas] obviously talking and making some progress," said Matthews. "And that's great. I'm not really too worried or too focused about it." He has 20 goals and 42 points in 30 games, but is mired in a bit of a slump right now. Matthews has just one goal in 13 games, but hopes to snap that skating with Mitch Marner on Wednesday night.
