Matthews hasn't been launching as many shots as he once did, but the Leafs' captain has been lethal when he lets it fly.
Auston Matthews has recorded 19 points in his first 13 games of the season, adapting his playstyle with increased shooting efficiency and high assist numbers for the Toronto Maple Leafs.
