Or, how about Auston Matthews’ career-high tying 40th of the year, part of a monster game on both sides of the puck. It tied Matthews with the idle Alexander Ovechkin for first place in the NHL’s Rocket Richard Trophy race. Keefe put Clifford in the starting lineup as well as Campbell, a nod to family in the stands for both men. What the crowd really loved was Clifford rushing into a second-period scrum after Campbell was knocked down in his crease. But the Matthews Express is the sidebar to watch whether the Leafs finish in a playoff spot or not.
