Watch: Matthews snaps 13-game scoring slump with pair of 1st-period goals

Auston Matthews can breathe a huge sigh of relief.

The Toronto Maple Leafs rookie has seen his 13-game scoring drought come to an end with a pair of goals during the first period Wednesday in New Jersey.

The first came on some tough work in front of the net.

Matthews was able to display some nice hands on the second.

Matthews, who has now recorded eight goals in 20 games, fired 45 shots on goal during the 13 games in which he failed to score.
