Maple Leafs forward Auston Matthews failed to record a shot on goal for the first time in his NHL career Tuesday in Calgary, ending a streak that spanned 103 games.

Matthews had two shot attempts, but one missed the net and the other was blocked by a Flames defender.

Auston Matthews didn't even realize his streak had ended: "I won't lose any sleep over it tonight."

Not recording a shot wasn't enough to hold him off the scoresheet, though, as he assisted on Nikita Zaitsev's second-period goal in Toronto's 4-1 victory.

Matthews will get a chance to start a brand-new streak Thursday when the Leafs take on the Oilers.
