Matthews Hits 400 Goals, Leafs Win Division Title

Auston Matthews scored his 400th career NHL goal in just 628 games during the Toronto Maple Leafs' 4-0 victory over the Buffalo Sabres, making him the sixth-fastest player in league history to this milestone and surpassing Alex Ovechkin's pace. Matthews joins Mats Sundin as the only Maple Leafs with 400 goals for the franchise, and he is now just 20 goals shy of the team's all-time record. The win secured Toronto's first-ever Atlantic Division title and the second seed in the Eastern Conference, setting up a playoff series against the Ottawa Senators. Mitch Marner also reached 100 points on the season, becoming the fourth player in Maple Leafs history to do so. The Leafs set a franchise record for most road wins in a season, with notable contributions from Nicholas Robertson and a shutout by goaltender Anthony Stolarz. Matthews emphasized the importance of team achievements as Toronto heads into the playoffs as a strong contender.
