Auston Matthews makes Leafs history, passing legend for monumental record

Toronto Maple Leafs captain Auston Matthews has written another chapter in what has truly been a shistoric season for the ages.

During a season that, in early January, saw this former 2016 first overall pick rewrite the Leafs franchise record books by surpassing Hall of Famer Mats Sundin as the team's all-time leading scorer, Matthews once again made some Leafs history.

Unfortunately for Matthews and all of Leafs Nation, this accomplishment came during a Leafs loss, when on Monday at Scotiabank Arena in a 6-3 loss against the Minnesota Wild this future Hall of Famer scored a goal and produced two points to move past Hall of Fame defenceman, the late Borje Salming and into fourth place with 769 total points.
