Post#1 » by RealGM Wiretap » Thu Feb 22, 2024 9:17 pm

Auston Matthews scored his 50th goal of the season Wednesday night in the Toronto Maple Leafs star\'s hometown return, becoming the fastest NHL player to reach that mark in 28 years.

Playing his 54th game of the season, Matthews scored 5:01 into the game on a power play to give Toronto a 2-0 lead over the Arizona Coyotes at Mullett Arena. He added his 51st -- giving him 350 career goals in 535 games -- late in the second period for a 4-2 lead.

The Maple Leafs went on to win 6-3.
