Auston Matthews scores for Maple Leafs in Arizona homecoming
GLENDALE, Ariz. — Auston Matthews enjoyed his mother’s cooking — and feasted on the lowly Arizona Coyotes.
Matthews scored in Toronto’s three-goal first period in his Arizona homecoming to help the Toronto Maple Leafs beat the Coyotes 7-4 on Thursday night.
Facing the Coyotes in Arizona for the second time in his career, the 20-year-old Matthews scored in his second straight game after missing six because of concussion-like symptoms.
“That was a great feeling,” Matthews said.
