How historic is it?
Well this Auston Matthews season ranks as the 16th best season for even strength goals per game. Matthews is currently scoring at a 0.64 even strength goals per game pace, leaving him tied with NHL greats like Alexander Mogilny and Phil Esposito.

Nobody since 1999-2000 even on the list, including Ovi. 🤯
It's amazing to believe despite how incredible Alexander Ovechkin has been in his career, that the last two seasons for Auston Matthews have been better.
