Matthews scored a goal and added an assist in a 4-3 overtime win over the Jets on Thursday.
He showed off his silky mitts in OT with a dazzling backhander high over Connor Hellebuyck’s outstretched glove. In fact, Matthews hands were so fast that he pretty much paralyzed last year’s Vezina winner with the move. It’s definitely a SportsCentre play-of-the-week candidate. The sniper is leading the Rocket Richard race with 21 goals, seven of which have been game winners. Matthews leads the NHL in that category, too.
