Matthews has the same pace Sidney Crosby had in his rookie season.
Auston Matthews is indusputably an amazing player. With 10 goals in 23 games he's heading toward a 35 goals season, as a rookie... This is insane. How insane? Well who do you think was the latest rookie to score 35 goals? Not Panarin, who was 24 year-old when he played his rookie season. Not John Tavares, the franchise player for the New-York Islanders. Not even Steven Stamkos, one of the best goal-scorer in the NHL. Connor McDavid, 2015 draft phenom was only on a 30 goals season pace.
Sidney Crosby and Alexander Ovechkin both scored more than 35 goals in the 2005-2006 season, 11 years ago.
Here's how Matthews gets it done!
