Bruce Fedyck / USA TODAY Sports
Auston Matthews: not just a goal scorer.
The Toronto Maple Leafs phenom has 14 tallies in his last 17 games, but his playmaking abilities stole the show in the second period versus Washington Tuesday night.
Matthews evaded a check from Nicklas Backstrom, then deked past Brooks Orpik, before reversing his direction and finding Leo Komarov in front for a tap in, and his second assist of the game.
