Truly remarkable by "Papi" who is scoring at an incredible pace and considering the immense improvement in terms of goaltending today compared to the NHL decades ago.
It has truly been an incredible season for the Leafs star after a down year in the 2022-23 facing injury concerns, the American put up only 40 goals in 72 games. He has the chance to score over 76 goals for the first time in over three decades which is a record held by Teemu Selanne, Ducks Legend.
