Auston Matthews Proving Why He's The Best Goal Scorer We've Seen In Over 30 Years

Matthews goal scoring streak has been one to keep track of in this era

The Toronto Maple Leafs have scored a lot of goals this season and are top five in goal-scoring, and it’s no surprise with Auston Matthews leading the way in that category for the club. There’s been a lot of stressful number crunching to explain this fascinating season he’s having and how it could be revolutionary to the current era of the game.

As of right now, Matthews is setting the pace for 70 goals, and there could be room to argue that he may get more than that, but how important is Matthews as a goal scorer in the National Hockey League?
