EDGE Analysis
Matheson had been held without a point in his first four games of the season but got off the schneid midway through the first period with a sweet feed to Bryan Rust on top of the crease. He added his second assist on a Sidney Crosby empty-netter in the final minute of regulation. Matheson tallied eight-plus goals and 20-plus points in each of the last three seasons but has a limited ceiling offensively.
