Maple Leafs captain Auston Matthews broke a record held by Mats Sundin with a goal against the Avalanche on Wednesday.

The Toronto Maple Leafs faced off against the Colorado Avalanche in one of just two NHL games on Wednesday night. Having fallen 7-4 to Colorado a little over a week and a half ago, Toronto was eager to flip the script this time around and go even on points with the Florida Panthers for the Atlantic Division lead.

With a pair of goals in a 6-2 win against the Calgary Flames on Monday night, Auston Matthews did two things: he snapped the Toronto Maple Leafs out of a two-week funk. And he reminded everyone why he is the team’s captain.
