Maple Leafs' Auston Matthews: Seven-game goal streak

Matthews scored two goals Thursday in a 6-5 loss to New Jersey.

Matthews extended his goal streak to seven games and nine goals -- his point streak was also exteneded to 13 games and 24 points (13 goals, 11 assists) with goals 67 and 68 of the season. Matthews has three games remaining, but he may not appear in all of them with the Leafs' already being locked into a playoff spot. Yes, he's looking to hit the 70-goal mark, but remember the Leafs sat Mitchell Marner last year when he had a real shot at 100 points. There are no guarantees, and the postseason is the priority.
