Game 53 and tonight was all about Auston Matthews hitting the 40 goal milestone! Patience young grasshopper, we'll get there! The Toronto Maple Leafs came out flying with Alex Galchenyuk scoring 16 seconds into the first! Montreal came on strong immediately after that, putting forth a wild and crazy scramble shift in the leafs zone for a good minute or so, but alas, left empty handed. The Maple Leafs, or more specifically, John Tavares popped in the Leafs second goal shortly after. OH BABY! In the second half of the first, who other than Leafs legend, Pierre Engvall.....streaked down the wing sniping on the young Habs goaltender, Cayden Primeau. Making it 3-0. OH, but the Buds weren't done there! Mitch Marner came blazing in the ozone, showing speed and skill with some seriously sick dangles! Deaking out Primeau and scoring the Leafs 4th and final goal.....of that period. In the second, Cole Caufield bagged his third goal of his career, bringing the Montreal Canadiens within 3. Early in the third, the Habs cut Toronto's lead yet again, when Lehkonen scored. 4-2 Leafs...But wait! With 4:19 left in the game, the legend and possible God, Auston Matthews scored his 40th goal of this shortened season! ARE YOU KIDDING ME??!! WOO!! Go Leafs Go! Leafs win 5-2! Side note, Ilya Mikheyev scored but it didn't count. Should have, but didn't. Dang does he ever have terrible luck with goals being called back!
