The Maple Leafs crushed the Lightning last night, defeating the two-year reigning Stanley Cup Champions 6-2. The story of the night though was about Auston Matthews scoring a hat-trick and tying the Leafs historical record for goals in a season at 54. Here’s our full recap of last night’s game:
It now seems inevitable that Matthews will hit 60 goals this season, the question now is when will he get there? There’s three games left this week, meaning scoring twice in each one would put him at 60 goals on Saturday at home against Montreal on Hockey Night in Canada, and wouldn’t that be nice?
