BUFFALO, N.Y. — Auston Matthews scored his NHL-leading 60th goal, Ilya Samsonov stopped 34 shots and Toronto beat the Buffalo Sabres 3-0 on Saturday night in front of a distinctly raucous Maple Leafs-backed road crowd.
“It means a lot, obviously. This is much of a team accomplishment in my opinion as an individual one,” Matthews said. “It’s always a fun atmosphere here with all the blue and white in the stands. Definitely pretty cool.” The 26-year-old from Arizona joins a group of eight NHL players to have multiple 60-goal seasons, and is the first since Pavel Bure had back-to-back 60-goal campaigns with the Vancouver Canucks in 1992-93 and 1993-94.
A night after rallying from a 2-0 deficit in a 5-2 win over New Jersey, the Sabres continued their trend of inconsistent outings that has them slipping out of contention and in jeopardy of extending the team’s NHL-record playoff drought to a 13th consecutive season. “I’ve got to find a way to bury some of those,” said Cozens in a game the Sabres’ power-play finished 0 for 6. “It definitely gets frustrating after a while. You get tons of chances and the goalie just stands on his head.”
