Auston Matthews and Mitch Marner were in Saturday's lineup for the Maple Leafs.
The team’s superstar forwards had just gone toe-to-toe less than 48 hours earlier in an emotional, edge-of-your-seat 4 Nations Face-Off final in Boston.
Toronto barely needed its dynamic duo early against the Carolina Hurricanes. The club was then forced to lean on them late. Matthews, who finished with 19 minutes 14 seconds of ice time, scored his 389th career goal to tie Darryl Sittler for second on Toronto’s all-time list behind Mats Sundin . “They get paid the big bucks, but at the end of the day, they grind it, too,” Leafs forward Steven Lorentz, who made a terrific play to set up David Kampf’s 3-0 goal, said of Matthews and Marner. “They’re obviously very skilled and they can put the puck in the net, but when the minutes get up there with them, you don’t really see it a whole lot.Leafs rookie Alex Steeves opened the scoring with his first NHL goal.
