Game Preview

Nathan MacKinnon has an impressive home point streak going for the Colorado Avalanche but he’s not the hottest player in the NHL right now.

That honor belongs to Toronto’s Auston Matthews, who is scoring goals at a scorching rate. Matthews has 10 goals in his last five games, including one in a 7-3 win at Vegas on Thursday night, and carries that hot stick into Saturday night when the Maple Leafs play at Colorado.

Matthews has scored a league-best 52 goals in 55 games, and while he’s not on pace to catch Wayne Gretzky’s single-season record of 92 set in 1981-82, he is on pace for 76 goals. That would mark the most goals by a player since 1992-93, when Teemu Selanne and Alexander Mogilny each netted 76.
