Auston Matthews of the Toronto Maple Leafs has become the fastest player in franchise history to score 300 goals. Matthews achieved this milestone in just 500 games, joining Alex Ovechkin as the only active players to reach this feat in such a short time. After a career-best 60 goal season in 2021-22, Matthews scored 40 goals last season. The question now arises whether Matthews will be closer to 40 or 60 goals in the upcoming campaign.
