Toronto Maple Leafs: Matthews Named First Star of the Week
Toronto Maple Leafs star, Auston Matthews was named the NHL’s First Star of the Week on Monday after posting five goals and three assists in three games.
The week that was began when Matthews recorded his first two goals of the season on opening night against the Montreal Canadiens, the Toronto Maple Leafs first goal of the year and the overtime winner on a feed from Patrick Marleau to seal the deal for the buds.
The superstar centre would then light the lamp against the Ottawa Senators in a losing effort, then again twice more in a battle with the Chicago Blackhawks.
He would eventually finish the first week with five goals and eight points, which currently leads the league in both category.
