Toronto Maple Leafs superstar Auston Matthews has seen his torrid goal-scoring pace dip recently, but he isn't going to change his approach.
Despite being in the midst of a four-game goalless drought, Matthews believes the bounces will go his way again if he sticks to his game.
"I think you go through stretches like that. You try not to get too frustrated and just continue to do the things that make me successful," Matthews said, per TSN.
He continued: "When the puck's not going in the net, I think it's important to find other ways to be effective. For me, I'm just going to keep shooting."
After bagging 18 goals in his first 18 games, Matthews has found the back of the net only three times in his last 11 contests.
He missed two games with a lingering wrist injury earlier this month. Head coach Sheldon Keefe previously said the ailment is affecting Matthews' play.
Toronto's top pivot long held a commanding lead in the league's goal-scoring race. However, his recent drought allowed MVP favorite Connor McDavid to tie him at 21 tallies apiece.
