Matthews sets Maple Leafs rookie record for points by teenager

Patrik Laine wasn't the only rookie setting franchise marks on Tuesday.

With an assist on Leo Komarov's second-period goal against the Winnipeg Jets, Auston Matthews set a Toronto Maple Leafs record for the most points in a season by a rookie teenager.

Matthews picked up his 50th point on the play to pass Ted Kennedy's previous mark of 49, which had stood since the 1943-44 season. Matthews would go on to pad that total, picking up another assist on William Nylander's 17th goal of the season, then adding his third helper of the night on Jake Gardiner's overtime winner for point No. 52 on the campaign.

Of course, with Mitch Marner sitting on 48 points, it's virtually a given he will pass Kennedy's point total as a teen as well.
