Auston Matthews didn’t just lead the Toronto Maple Leafs on the ice in their 6-2 win over the Calgary Flames while making franchise history —he set the tone before the puck even dropped. Head coach Craig Berube revealed after Tuesday’s practice that Matthews addressed his teammates in the locker room, demanding a better effort from the group.

Auston Matthews scored twice on the power play and added an assist as the Toronto Maple Leafs beat the Calgary Flames 6-2 on Monday night.

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).
