Toronto Maple Leafs forward Auston Matthews continues making history in his sixth season with the franchise.
During the second period of Thursday's game against the Dallas Stars, Matthews set the Maple Leafs' single-season scoring record with his 55th goal of the 2021-22 campaign.
Rick Vaive, who played for the Maple Leafs for eight years from the 1979-80 campaign through the 1986-87 season, previously held the record with the 54 goals he scored during the 1981-82 season.
Matthews is on pace to win the Rocket Richard Trophy as the NHL's leading goal scorer for the first time in his career.
