We are in the dog days of the NHL season and the Toronto Maple Leafs find themselves near the top of both the Atlantic Division, the Eastern Conference, and the NHL. Their strong season can be credited to the play of many players on their team, most notably that of Auston Matthews.
Despite missing a good chunk of action due to injury, Matthews has been one of the Leafs’ leading scorers and is on nearly a 100 point pace over an 82 game season. Clearly, he has been the least of Toronto’s worries and his recent contract extension is proof of that.
