Athletistic / Hockey. The Toronto Maple Leafs defeated the Anaheim Ducks (9:2) last night in an NHL regular season home game. The main hero of the meeting was Leafs forward Auston Matthews.
The 26-year-old American scored 5 (3+2) points thanks to the goal+pass system during the match against the Ducks. It is worth noting that this was Matthews’ sixth hat-trick this season. Thus, he set the Toronto record for the most hat tricks in a season and repeated the feat of the world hockey legend, Canadian Mario Lemieux. 28 years ago, the captain of the Pittsburgh Penguins scored six hat tricks during an NHL regular season, after which no one was able to achieve this record.
This season, Auston Matthews has scored 48 goals in 52 matches and made 23 assists with an overall rating of +20.
