The Maple Leafs sniper desperately chasing history had another chance at a yawning cage blocked by a defender completely unaware the puck was headed his way.

"Special player," Matthews said."Really admire how every year he just seems to get better and better." Gretzky scored 70 or more four times in his career — including a record 92 in 1981-82 — while Hull and Lemieux are the only other players to hit the mark multiple times. Matthews passed Dave Keon for third all-time in franchise history when he scored his 366th career goal against the New Jersey Devils last week before adding another later in the game.
