Matthews' 68th goal of the season in last night's loss to the Devils was his 51st even strength goal of the season (the first player to do that in 31 years), putting him one ahead of Sundin's previous franchise record. > Auston Matthews’ second period goal was the 274th even strength goal of his career – the most by any player in [@MapleLeafs](https://twitter.com/MapleLeafs?ref%5Fsrc=twsrc%5Etfw&ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) history. > > 1\. Auston Matthews 274 > 2\. Mats Sundin 273 > T3\. Dave Keon 269 > T3\.

And I just have to reiterate this one point again. Auston Matthews is only 26 and he passed *the* Mats Sundin in half the time. That's just incredible. Matthews and Tavares both had two goals in last night's game, but the Leafs still lost. [Recap: Devils can’t stop Auston Matthews, but the Leafs can’t stop the DevilsAuston Matthews scores again and again, becomes the third highest scorer in Leafs history. Also, a hockey game happened.![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/34/01/3401a938-f468-4c02-a227-9bc4cc09bad4/content/images/size/w256h256/format/png/2023/04/pension-plan-min.svg)PPP LeafsAdam Selvig![](https://images.unsplash.com/photo-1506797848948-339596317992?crop=entropy&cs=tinysrgb&fit=max&fm=jpg&ixid=M3wxMTc3M3wwfDF8c2VhcmNofDEyfHw2OHxlbnwwfHx8fDE3MTI4ODEzNDV8MA&ixlib=rb-4.0.3&q=80&w=2000content/images/size/w1200)](https://www.pensionplanpuppets.com/toronto-maple-leafs-game-recap-maple-leafs-highlights-april-11/) Rodion Amirov's family was in attendance for the first time.

That Detroit game might be wild. The Florida game will be a tune-up before the playoffs, people will make a lot about that game even though getting out of it healthy will be the only goal. The Tampa Bay probably won't have any implications for anyone, play the scrubs. Happy Friday!
