Toronto Maple Leafs superstar Auston Matthews is one goal away from breaking Rick Vaive’s single-season record, so expect history to be made tonight.
It’s been 40 years since Rick Vaive scored 54 goals in a season and no Toronto Maple Leafs player has broken that record, until (probably) tonight.
Sure, this is going out on a limb, but is it really a huge statement to say that Auston Matthews is going to score a goal tonight? He has 54 goals in 65 games is basically on a game per-game pace in his last 47 games.
