Auston Matthews records three points in Maple Leafs loss to Kraken

Matthews put up a goal and two assists Wednesday, but already averages 1.04 points per game and holds no more fantasy value today than yesterday.

By Fantasy Roundup Staff · October 29, 2026

Auston Matthews recorded one goal and two assists on four shots with one hit in 20:21 in the Maple Leafs' 5-4 loss to the Kraken on Wednesday, October 28.

The three-point night is a strong showing, but Matthews already averages 1.04 points per game in his recent averages. Fantasy managers paid for this production when they drafted or acquired him, and nothing about Wednesday's game changes his valuation.

Auston Matthews

Matthews put up one goal and two assists on four shots in 20:21 against Seattle. He already averages 1.04 points per game in his recent work, so the three-point outing reflects the level he was expected to deliver. He plays on the first power-play unit and averages 2:46 of power-play time per game, third among all Maple Leafs skaters. Toronto has two games left this week, Saturday and Tuesday.

His underlying play grades 98 out of 100 among forwards, a measure built on shots, scoring chances and ice time that reads how sustainable his scoring is. Matthews averages 0.52 goals, 0.52 assists and 4.0 shots per game alongside 0.7 hits and 1.2 blocks, skating 20:37 a night. The Maple Leafs play three times next week. Keep him in your lineup for every game Toronto plays.

What to do

• Start Matthews in all formats for both of Toronto's games this week, Saturday and Tuesday.

• Treat Wednesday's three points as confirmation of his recent averages, not an upgrade in his fantasy value.

• Leave Matthews in your lineup for all three of the Maple Leafs' games next week.
