When the Toronto Maple Leafs played on March 10, they walked away from Scotiabank Arena feeling good after beating the Tampa Bay Lightning. In that game, Auston Matthews scored his 47th goal of the season. That may have potentially been the last game the Leafs play this season.
With 12 games remaining on the schedule, Matthews had the chance to make history. If the NHL doesn’t play those final games, it could rob the Leafs leading scorer from that opportunity.
Matthews is one of two players on the Maple Leafs to have played all 70 games of the season.
