The Toronto Maple Leafs super star Auston Matthews is in a world of his own this season as he just scored his 58th goal and 99th point of the season.
This has the hockey world wondering how many goals and points will Matthews finish with? Matthews just joined the elite 50/50 Club (unofficially). That's a very rare and exclusive club indeed.
How historic is it?
Well this�Auston Matthews�season ranks as the 16th best season for even strength goals per game. Matthews is currently scoring at a 0.64 even strength goals per game pace, leaving him tied with NHL greats like Alexander Mogilny and Phil Esposito.
Nobody since 1999-2000 is even on the list, including Alex Ovechkin, Sidney Crosby this let that sink in.
It's amazing to believe despite how incredible�Alexander Ovechkin�has been in his career, that the last two seasons for�Auston Matthews�have been better.
"Auston Matthews' season ranks 16th best in NHL history in even-strength goals per game at 0.64."
