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.
