Matthews scored his first goal of the preseason in Thursday's 6-1 loss to the Canadiens.

EDGE Analysis

At least Maple Leafs fans have a silver lining to take away from this blowout loss at the hands of their rivals. The 2016 first overall pick displayed tremendous skill at the World Cup of Hockey this offseason, and is expected to skate in a top-six role from the get-go in Toronto. Expect a lot more performances like this from Matthews once the games start counting.
