Matthews roofs his 39th goal

Auston Matthews nets his 39th goal of the season to set a record for the most by a U.S.-born rookie and breaks the Leafs' rookie point record.

What they said after the game:

"I've played with some pretty good players, so a lot of credit to them," said Matthews, who leads Patrik Laine of the Winnipeg Jets by five goals for the rookie lead. "I think the most important part is, for the team, we've been getting better and better each game, each segment. We're in a good spot right now, and we just want to continue to play well."

"We were able to jump on them early, and I thought their goaltender (Anders Nilsson) came in and really played well for them to give them an opportunity, but our guys were able to stick with it and get it done," Toronto coach Mike Babcock said.
