5 years agoToronto Maple Leafs center Auston Matthews scored two goals and added one assist, a plus-one rating and five shots on goal in Saturday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Rangers. Matthews' second period blast brought the Maple Leafs within one goal in the contest, while his second goal came with under a minute in regulation to force overtime. The 22-year-old has totaled 26 goals, 20 assists and 46 points through 40 games, while sitting second in the NHL's goal scoring race — two behind David Pastrnak's league-leading 28 goals. William Nylander recorded a multi-point performance with his 16th goal of the season, while Pierre Engvall's fourth of the season accounted for the Maple Leafs' only other goal in the contest. Matthews has provided owners with elite production at the halfway point of the season, making him a must-start player across all fantasy formats.--Denis Vondrus - RotoBaller
