On Fire Auston Matthews Makes A Statement Of Departure That Puts Maple Leaf Under Pressure.
Auston Matthews scored again to continue his sizzling surge, Max Domi had two goals, and the Toronto Maple Leafs beat the Vegas Golden Knights 7-3 on Thursday night for their sixth straight win.
Obviously, our stars are confident in their game, but confidence can be fleeting in this league,” McCabe said. “But when everyone’s been confident like we are currently, it’s a scary thing. You just have to keep it going.”
Matthews stretched his goal streak to five games with 10 goals and 13 points over that stretch. On Wednesday at Arizona, Matthews set a new record for the fastest U.S.-born player to reach 50 goals in a season, reaching that mark in 54 games. He has an NHL-best 52 goals this season.
Mitch Marner had two assists to extend his point streak to five games, giving him 13 over that stretch. William Nylander extended his point streak to six games. Domi’s two goals brought him with a point of 400 for his career.
“We have everyone going right now,” Domi said. “Everyone’s involved and everyone’s playing and everyone’s taking short shifts. Those are the things that are winning hockey, and that’s what we’re doing right now.
Jonathan Marchessault had a goal and assist for the Golden Knights, and William Karlsson and Michael Amadio each scored a goal. Shea Theodore picked up two assists. Vegas has lost four of five games, with each defeat coming at home.
