Toronto Maple Leafs forward Auston Matthews had a huge triumph on Saturday night, and now, Mitch Marner is speaking out about it.
Last night, Auston Matthews broke the Toronto Maple Leafs' all-time scoring record against the New York Islanders.
The captain scored his 420th and 421st goals in the same game, which allowed him to tie and eventually surpass Mats Sundin's long-standing record.
It was an incredible moment for Matthews, who has truly come alive over the past couple of games, with five goals in just two contests.
The entire internet was congratulating the captain on social media, and he even got a message from his former linemate, Mitch Marner.

Marner took to his Instagram story, where he offered up a short and sweet message that shows his cameraderie with Matthews still runs deep.
Congrats brother!! Animal!
Marner currently plays with the Las Vegas Golden Knights, and while he has had some success so far, there is no denying that he hasn't had the same chemistry with his linemates as he did with Auston Matthews.
One has to wonder if this latest achievement for Matthews has Marner feeling just a little bit jealous of his former team.
Of course, the Golden Knights are doing a lot better in the standings right now, so perhaps Marner should stay right where he is.
As for Matthews, he is on a heater, and with each goal, he will increase his lead on the Leafs' all-time scoring list. In fact, there is a case to be made that Matthews is the greatest Leaf ever.
