The battle between Auston Matthews and David Pastrnak for first place on the NHL scoring chart continued Saturday.

Matthews and Pastrnak both bagged their 42nd goals of the 2019-20 campaign to remain level atop the list and move two tallies ahead of Alexander Ovechkin.

Both players scored in four-goal performances by the Toronto Maple Leafs and Boston Bruins against the two worst teams in the Eastern Conference.

The scoring race and Tyler Toffoli's hat trick for the Los Angeles Kings were the top performances out of NHL forwards during Saturday's slate.
