Morning Coffee: Matthews The First To 50 Goals

Auston Matthews anytime goal scorer was a popular prop bet once again on Thursday night.

As he’s done over and over this season, Matthews delivered again. 

The Toronto Maple Leafs led the Winnipeg Jets 5-3 late in regulation when goalie Eric Comrie headed to the Winnipeg bench.

After being stopped on his first five shots of the game, Matthews found the empty net for his 50th goal, becoming only the fourth player in franchise history and the first in 28 years to hit that mark in a single season.

Anyone that went to the game hoping that they would see Matthews score 50 in person went home happy.

Anyone that bet on Matthews anytime goal scorer at -130 went home happy as well.

With the goal, Matthews once again pulled ahead of Leon Draisaitl in a thrilling Rocket Richard Trophy race.

Next up, Draisaitl will get his chance to respond when the Edmonton Oilers host the St. Louis Blues in another crucial game in the NHL Western Conference playoff race.

Here’s the TSN EDGE Morning Coffee for Friday April 1st, 2022.
