Chicago Blackhawks vs Toronto Maple Leafs
Auston Matthews will look to continue his torrid scoring pace Monday night when his Toronto Maple Leafs face the visiting Chicago Blackhawks.
Toronto will end a three-game, season-opening homestand against prized rookie Connor Bedard and the Blackhawks, who lost 3-2 at Montreal on Saturday.He is the fifth player in NHL history to have a hat trick in each of his first two games to start a season, joining Alex Ovechkin , Cy Denneny , Joe Malone and Reg Noble .
"But to do so on back-to-back nights to start a season, it's terrific. He looks like he's having lots of fun. ... Auston is focused on the big picture. He's looking to really drive our team."Chicago got two third-period goals from Tyler Johnson against Montreal, but it wasn't enough as the Blackhawks could not overcome an 0-for-7 power play and a Montreal short-handed goal.Many of the mistakes came on the power play.
"We were more desperate and ended up getting a couple but we had our chances," said Bedard, the 10th NHL No. 1 pick to have a point in each of his first three NHL games."But had a lot of breakdowns and that's why we lost."
