Matthews is on pace for 39 goals, a big step down from his 60 a year ago.
, Toronto Maple Leafs forward Auston Matthews revealed that he had been playing through a hand injury this season.
While talking to Siegel, Matthews said, “I think my hand and everything has been feeling a lot better, just stronger.” It was visibly noticeable when watching him play this season. He’s averaging just 12.6 shot attempts per 60 minutes, a decent drop from the nearly 14 he was taking during his dominant campaign a year ago.
Despite the struggles in comparison, Matthews’ 31 goals trail only William Nylander for the team lead in goals, and his 67 points put him third behind Mitch Marner and Nylander . Matthews’ ice time is the lowest it’s been since 2018-19, and his overall shooting percentage of 12.4 is the lowest of his career – he had 17.2 last year and 18.5 the year before.
