Fresh off of their 6-0 win over the Colorado Avalanche, the Toronto Maple Leafs don’t have too much time to gloat, as they’ve got a game against the Arizona Coyotes to play.
Auston Matthews scored a goal - his 16th of the season - and brought his points totals to 25 in 32 games, tied for both the lead in Leafs scoring, and second in league-wide rookie scoring.
And now, he’s headed back home - and getting quite the welcome.
