Dave Feschuk: Leafs’ Auston Matthews a one-man shooting gallery in loss to Hurricanes
clearly took that philosophy to heart the previous couple of seasons. When he led the league in goals in two straight campaigns, he also led the league in shots on goal in both seasons, despite missing a combined 23 games over the span.
The most notable thing about Saturday was that Matthews registered 15 shots on goal, tying Dave Andreychuk’s 30-year-old franchise record. Only three players in NHL history have registered more than 15 shots on net in a game, including Ray Bourque, who once reeled off an NHL-record 19. Said Matthews: “Personally, I’m feeling good and feeling confident … is positive, obviously. I want to get shots on net and shoot the puck and get scoring chances as much as possible.”
“It’s difficult to win with any sort of regularity if you have to score more than four,” Keefe said. “So Matt’s got to find a way to keep one or two of those out. That’s just the bottom line.”Ryan O’Reilly
