Auston Matthews and Toronto’s relationship is on thin ice. Criticism of the underperforming superstar has intensified as wins have not come, and this season the Maple Leafs are on track to miss the playoffs.

NHL reporter Elliotte Friedman made a big revelation about Matthews and Toronto’s situation on his 32 Thoughts podcast.

In 57 games this season, Matthews has recorded 26+26=52 points.
