Auston Matthews, the Toronto Maple Leafs leading scorer, somehow doesn’t draw penalties. Finally, this anomaly is explained.
Toronto Maple Leafs fans can’t always agree on things. It’s almost impossible to find something they all want in unison other than winning the Stanley Cup. For the first time, there is a cause that has Leafs nation united; Auston Matthews deserves to draw more penalties.
It may shock those who don’t pay close attention to an individual statistic like who is drawing penalties, but Matthews gets very few calls. On-ice officials do not give the center the respect he deserves.
