Video: Maple Leafs' Auston Matthews 9th NHL Player Ever with Multiple 60-Goal Seasons

Auston Matthews is officially a two-time 60-goal scorer.

The Toronto Maple Leafs forward scored his 60th goal of the 2023-24 season on Saturday to help his team take down the Buffalo Sabres 3-0 at KeyBank Center and improve to 42-22-9 on the year.

Matthews is the ninth player in NHL history with multiple 60-goal seasons, joining Wayne Gretzky, Mike Bossy, Mario Lemieux, Phil Esposito, Brett Hull, Pavel Bure, Jari Kurri and Steve Yzerman.

Matthews also reached the 60-goal mark during the 2021-22 season when he recorded a career-high 106 points.

With nine regular-season games remaining, Matthews is expected to set a new career-high in goals. If he reaches the 65-goal mark, he would become the first player since Alexander Ovechkin in 2007-08 to accomplish the feat.

The Maple Leafs, which are still in the playoff hunt and sit third in the Atlantic Division, will return to action on Monday against the Florida Panthers.
