Watch: Matthews scores incredible backhand goal while being hauled down
by from on (#2D8YF)
The jury's still out on the Toronto Maple Leafs, but there's no doubt Auston Matthews is actually good.
The 19-year-old phenom scored a jaw-dropping goal Sunday against the Carolina Hurricanes, sliding the puck in while being dragged down by defenseman Phillip Di Giuseppe midway through the second period.
It was Matthews' 28th of the season, putting him into a tie for third in the NHL and level for first among rookies with Winnipeg Jets forward Patrik Laine.
