The former first-overall pick in the 2016 NHL Entry Draft is having his best statistical year as a Toronto Maple Leafs.
With 37 goals and 62 points, he’s only games away from breaking both of his career records of 40 goals and 73 points in a season.
Auston Matthews confidence is at all-time high this year. After Sheldon Keefe took over, it feels that Matthews scores every night, now that he’s paired up with Mitch Marner.

Personally, I thought his confidence came from the mustache, or being the cover-man for NHL 20, but whatever it is, he’s turned into the best pure goal scorer in the NHL.
