Matthews is coming off winning the Maurice Richard Trophy award last season as the NHL's top goal scorer after netting 69 goals in 81 games. This campaign, however, Matthews is on pace to finish with 33 goals assuming he doesn't miss any more games.

With a pair of goals in a 6-2 win against the Calgary Flames on Monday night, Auston Matthews did two things: he snapped the Toronto Maple Leafs out of a two-week funk. And he reminded everyone why he is the team’s captain.

William Nylander had a goal and two assists, Max Domi had a goal and an assist, and Joseph Woll made 24 saves for the Maple Leafs (40-24-3), who had lost five of their past six (1-4-1) and had not won in regulation since defeating the New York Rangers 3-2 on February 28 (seven games).
