NEWARK, N.J. — Auston Matthews knows that his teammates and most of the people in Toronto want him to score 70 goals this season and become only the ninth player in NHL history to accomplish the feat.That's why he's trying not to think about it too much.

Nico Hischier and Dawson Mercer scored for New Jersey, while Jake Allen made 32 saves.'I think they've played hard,' Devils interim coach Travis Green said of the team that set a franchise record for points last season. 'We've been in a lot of games and haven't found a way to win games where I felt we deserved a better fate.'Matthews' 66th came on a shot from the circle that beat Allen at 7:33 of the final period.
