Toronto Maple Leafs star Auston Matthews scored a franchise-record 69 goals (69-38—107 in 81 GP) – the most by any player since 1995-96 – to close the campaign 12 ahead of second-place Sam Reinhart of the Panthers (57‑37—94 in 82 GP) and capture his third Maurice “Rocket” Richard Trophy, after wins in 2021-22 and 2020-21. Matthews became the second player to claim the Maurice “Rocket” Richard Trophy, first presented in 1998-99, at least three times (after Alex Ovechkin: 9x) and the 12th player in NHL history to outright lead the League in goals on at least three occasions. His 12-goal gap over Reinhart marked the largest by the NHL’s top two goal-scorers since 2007-08, when Ovechkin (65) finished 13 ahead of Ilya Kovalchuk (52).

Marner is one of the best setup men of all-time!!
Matthew’s is goated fr 🥶🔥🐐
Matthews joins the "dirty duo" and turns it into the "GangBang Trio of hard rubber" of goal scorers to hit the infamous 69. Long Stick Matthews, Super Mario, and sucka free Bossey.
Nice.

Pfff, not even 70… Noob
While he displays great talent during the regular season, the true test lies in whether he can lead his team to victory in the playoffs.
Absolutely fantastic goal scorer. But still not winning Toronto a cup this year either.
Nice.
He needs to switch his jersey number to 69 until he gets a 70 goal season
