Matthews' goal-scoring prowess going right to his wallet

The goals are good for so many reasons.

Auston Matthews scored another two - including the overtime winner - Sunday at the Centennial Classic in Toronto, giving him 20 on the season. That's the most among rookies, second-most in the NHL, and tops on the Maple Leafs.

Twenty's a nice round number, especially after only 36 games, but it's significant for another reason, too:

20 goals on the season for Auston Matthews qualifies for A bonus and will earn the Leafs rookie an extra $212,500.

You're not dreaming, Maple Leafs fans. Matthews is real. This is actually happening. And there's still more than half a season's worth of games to go in the kid's fairy-tale season.
