Watch: Matthews streaks up ice, beats Howard with quick shot

The first 36 goals scored by Toronto Maple Leafs rookie Auston Matthews have done little to prepare netminders around the NHL for future scores.

Matthews made that clear while tallying his 37th of the season Saturday, streaking up ice and dishing to Leo Komarov before getting the puck back and scoring off a lightning quick wrist shot.

With his 37th in tow, Matthews temporarily moved into sole possession of fourth place in the 2016-17 goal-scoring race, trailing third-place Nikita Kucherov by just one.
