Number 60 was a beauty.
Morgan Rielly and
William Nylander were credited with assists on this one, but in reality it was all Matthews. After Nylander ripped a one timer wide, Matthews retrieved the puck, avoided a check, and somehow managed to keep the puck in the zone. It was here the Detroit Red Wings made a fatal mistake, they gave Auston Matthews time and space. Before the Wings could correct their egregious error, it was too late. Matthews fired, there was a ringing of iron as the puck hit the underside of the crossbar, and Scotiabank Arena exploded. Auston Matthews, 60 goals. Incredible.
