Auston Matthews battles in front and ties it up for the Maple Leafs.

Toronto Maple Leafs forward Auston Matthews may not be the captain of the Toronto Maple Leafs, but he certainly was leading by example on Friday night.

In a huge Game 5 in their first round series against the Washington Capitals, Matthews came up huge in the second period to get his Maple Leafs back in the game. After some tough battles on a number of shifts leading up to the goal, Matthews finally got one to go, beating Braden Holtby who thus far had been perfect.

It was a great effort to give the Leafs a shot at taking the lead in this extremely tight playoff series.
