The Toronto Maple Leafs are grinding it out, they are getting results, and they are just trying to maintain until Auston Matthews recovers from his luck-based drought.
It’s hilarious to criticize what Auston Matthews is currently doing for the Toronto Maple Leafs:
8 goals, 19 points in 18 games, 57% Coris, 59% expected goals.
Those are good number for basically anyone but Matthews and his single peer, Connor McDavid.
Matthews is currently 4th in the NHL in individual shot-attempts per minute of ice time (5v5) and he is second in individual scoring chances per minute.
