“It was a big moment. But an even bigger moment in the game for me, Auston was probably half a zone behind and the effort he put in to catch up, strip of the puck, made a couple of really strong defensive plays after that … that pace and work he put in there changed the energy of the game and in the building. The fans got into it from there. That is leadership.”Article content“I just want to continue to get those looks,” Matthews said. “That one feels good.
“He felt he had more to give.
