Auston Matthews Is Back on Track

In February, we were all hyped up for Matthews to hit 70 goals, and after, he started to slow down as soon as March hit; however, now it seems he wants this 70-goal milestone. With about six games left in the season, it will be a difficult task, but it’s certainly not impossible, as he only needs six more goals until he hits his goal. Hitting 60 already has put him as the sixth-highest player in NHL history in 60-goal seasons and third amongst players on Original Six teams to have 60-goal games.
