Matthews picked up three points in Wednesday's 5-3 win over the Sharks.

EDGE Analysis

Toronto's offense was doing fine without No. 34 but with him back and playing at a high level, there's no telling how far the Maples Leafs will go in 2018-19. Matthews now has 12 goals and 19 points this season. The American-born Maple Leaf has only played 12 games this year after a shoulder injury suffered back on Oct. 27 forced him to the press box. He's back, and Toronto's offense was firing on all cylinders Wednesday night. Meanwhile, the Buds are still without William Nylander (contract dispute) who has until Saturday to sign a new contract or be forced to sit out the entire season.
