7/8 points is a successful road trip. Man, Matthews is just so much fun to watch. I think he's making a legit case for the Hart right now. Lots of fun stats thrown out last night about the Leafs:
- on Jan 1, Marner was 95th in the league with 21 points. He's now 6th with 89
- with 49 goals in his last 49 games, Matthews can be the first player since like the mid-90s to score 50 goals in 50 games if he scores against the Habs tomorrow.
- Matthews passes Jimmy Carson and Kevin Stevens to hold the single-season goal-scoring mark with his 56th last night.
And Roman Josi is making a helluva case for the Norris. I have no recollection of Paul Kariya as a Predator, but Josi passed him as the franchise's single-season scoring leader. With 87 points, he just might get to 100 this year.
^^ If the Leafs can get two against Dallas and not leave Dallas with a point, I would appreciate it.
They tried... but Pavelski had a sick deflection to tie it with a couple minutes left.
