Auston Matthews scores 400th goal of career, Maple Leafs win - ESPN

BUFFALO, N.Y. — Auston Matthews scored into an empty net for the 400th goal of his career in the Toronto Maple Leafs' 4-0 victory over the Buffalo Sabres on Tuesday night.

The victory clinched Toronto's first Atlantic Division title, and also featured Maple Leafs star Mitch Marner reaching his career high with 100 points by scoring with 4:21 left in regulation.

The Maple Leafs secured the Eastern Conference's second seed and will open the playoffs against their Ontario provincial rival, the Ottawa Senators.

Matthews, an American and a former No. 1 pick from the 2016 draft, is the sixth-fastest player to reach 400, according to ESPN Research, doing so in his 628th career game. That's six games faster than Alex Ovechkin, the NHL's new all-time goals leader.
