Auston Matthews wanted everyone to know this one counted.
The Toronto Maple Leafs star pointed emphatically to signal a goal after scoring to give his team a 2-1 lead over the Colorado Avalanche on Monday night.
Minutes earlier, Matthews had had a goal taken away upon review, when it was deemed he interfered with Avalanche goaltender Jonathan Bernier.
