Auston Matthews, Mitchell Marner Combine For Eight Points
4 years agoToronto Maple Leafs forwards Auston Matthews and Mitchell Marner each posted season-best four-point performances in Thursday's 7-3 victory against the Senators. Matthews scored twice and added two assists in the contest, bringing his season total up to 16 goals to lead the NHL. Marner's three-assist night brought him up to 19 assists on the season, trailing only Oilers forward Connor McDavid in that department. Forward Joe Thornton, who plays alongside the dynamic duo of Matthews and Marner, finished with one goal and two assists in the contest. The Maple Leafs top line has been on fire in terms of offensive production, and as a result all three forwards should be started on a nightly basis moving forward.
