Toronto Maple Leafs forward Auston Matthews continues to make history, as he scored his 60th goal of the season on Saturday against the Buffalo Sabres.
The goal came in the third period when Matthews jammed one in past Sabres netminder Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen.
After hitting the 60-goal mark, Matthews becomes just the ninth player in NHL history to score at least 60 goals twice in their career. He’s also the only active player to accomplish the feat. Connor McDavid, David Pastrnak, Steven Stamkos and Alex Ovechkin have all done it once.
Matthews also hit the 60-goal plateau in the 2021-22 season, when he finished with exactly 60.
Ovechkin holds the record for goals in the salary cap era when he scored 65 in 2007-08.
