Auston Matthews on the verge of breaking many Maple Leafs records
With Auston Matthews bound to be a Maple Leaf for the next five seasons, we can't help but look ahead to what he could accomplish with the franchise.
Matthews Breaking Leafs' Records
Many records are within Matthews' reach. Let's take a look at some of them:
Total Goals
Current record: Mats Sundin, 420
Matthews: 299
If he continues to score at a pace close to 50 goals per season, he'll secure that record by the end of his contract.
Power Play Goals
Current record: Mats Sundin, 124
Matthews: 76
Given his performance on the power play, don't be surprised if he surpasses Sundin in the next few years.
Game-winning Goals
Current record: Mats Sundin, 79
Matthews: 53
Another of Sundin's records that Matthews could reach. With Keefe utilizing Matthews in crucial moments, he should tally a few game-winning goals in the coming seasons.
Overtime Goals
Current record: Mats Sundin, 14
Matthews: Nine
Matthews needs just five goals to join Sundin and six to surpass the record. He's certainly capable of achieving it.
Total Plus-Minus
Current record: Tim Horton, +151
Matthews: +109
Tim Horton's record dates back to the 1960s, but Matthews could still surpass it more than 60 years later.
The Maple Leafs are in a prime position to win, and Matthews has many talented teammates to support him in achieving these records. Give him a few years, and his name will be all over the record books.
