Auston Matthews posts four points in Maple Leafs win over Avalanche

Fantasy hockey: Matthews had two goals and two assists Saturday, a normal outing for a player already averaging 1.04 points per game in his recent sample.

Auston Matthews posted two goals and two assists on four shots in 22:06 as the Maple Leafs beat the Avalanche 6-3 on Saturday, October 10. He added a power-play goal and three blocked shots in the win.

The four-point night reflects the level Matthews already carries into this game. His recent averages of 0.52 goals and 1.04 points per game put him among the elite forwards, and his underlying play grades 98 out of 100 among forwards in shots, scoring chances and ice time. That top-tier process suggests his scoring is sustainable, but this game does not change his value.

Auston Matthews

Matthews averages 1.04 points per game in his recent sample, already pricing in this kind of production. He puts up 0.52 goals, 0.52 assists, 4.0 shots and 0.30 power-play points per game, working 20:37 a night with 2:46 on the top power-play unit (third among all Maple Leafs skaters in power-play time). His four points and four shots Saturday fit comfortably within that profile.

The 98th percentile process grade among forwards captures how much Matthews drives play, a measure of how repeatable his offense is. He combines elite shot volume with prime ice time and scoring-chance creation. The Maple Leafs have three games remaining this week (Saturday, Tuesday, Thursday), giving Matthews three chances to continue producing at his usual elite rate.

What to do

• Start Matthews in all formats for his three games this week.

• Keep him locked into daily lineups on Tuesday and Thursday.

• Expect 1.04 points per game and elite process to continue delivering consistent fantasy value.
