EDGE Analysis

After mustering a hat trick and an assist in Monday's home win over the Devils, Matthews continued his success one night later in New Jersey. He played a pivotal role in Toronto putting the game away early, scoring his 29th goal of the year before providing the primary assist on the first of Mitch Marner's two tallies, which gave the Maple Leafs a 4-0 first-period lead. Matthews actually lost ground to Chris Kreider in the Rocket Richard race, as the Rangers winger pushed his league-leading goal total to 33 with a pair, but the Maple Leafs center is steadily climbing the league leaderboard with nine goals in his last 10 games.
