Toronto Maple Leafs: Matthews Will Still Win Rocket Richard Trophy

Toronto Maple Leafs Auston Matthews is off to a somewhat slow start, compared to his previous seasons, but it’s about to change.

During the 2020-21 campaign, Auston Matthews had the greatest season in Toronto Maple Leafs history.

He scored a team-record 60 goals and finished with 106 points. However, when it was all set-and-done, the year ended like it always does: with a first-round exit.

Despite losing in Game 7 again, Matthews showed up in the playoffs, scoring four goals and registering five assists. He even scored the game-winning goal in Game 5 to put Toronto up 3-2 in the series, but as per usual, it wasn’t enough to get the job done.
