The Toronto Maple Leafs superstar Auston Matthews achieved an impressive feat yesterday as the Leafs were playing against the Arizona Coyotes. <h2>Auston Matthews Scored 50th Goal of the Season In What Could be One of the Best Seasons of the Salary Cup Era in the NHL</h2> <div align='center' style='padding-top:20px;padding-bottom:20px;'><img src='https://i.marqueur.com/habsetlnh/i/photo/380474.webp' width='100%' border='0' alt='image' loading='lazy' defer /></div> Matthews, who's already on his way to be the best player in the Leafs' franchise history, scored two goals last night in his hometown of Arizona. This was his 50th and 51st goals this season. Chris Johnston made a post on X about that accomplishment. <q>Make it 50 goals in 54 games for Auston Matthews. He's the fastest U.S.-born player ever to do it and the quickest to hit the milestone overall since Mario Lemieux went 50-in-50 in 1995-96.</q> <div align='center'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/reporterchris/status/1760504853284225438?'> </a></blockquote></div> Indeed, he's the fastest to reach that milestone since Mario Lemieux, one of the NHL's biggest legends. <q>Fewest player games to 50 goals, last 30 seasons Cam Neely (1993-94 Bruins) 44 Mario Lemieux (1995-96 Penguins) 50 Auston Matthews (2023-24 Maple Leafs) 54 Jaromir Jagr (1995-96 Penguins) 59</q> <div align='center'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/SNstats/status/1760508756440314264'> </a></blockquote></div> Matthews is on his way to show that he's the best goal-scorer in the NHL. At this pace, he could even reach the 75-goals mark. We haven't seen a player do that in three decades. That last time it was reached, it was by both Teemu Selanne and Alexander Mogilny, who scored 76 goals each in 1992-93. This could be one of the greatest seasons in the salary cap era. We don't talk enough about how lucky we are to be seeing that much talent in Toronto. Let's hope he can keep that momentum going into the playoffs.
