Toronto Maple Leafs captain Auston Matthews has sent a message to his teammates as they get ready for Game 4 against the pesky Ottawa Senators.
Auston Matthews has been solid in the NHL Playoffs so far as he has one goal and four assists in the first three games of the series.
Overall, the Leafs have a 3-0 series lead and they are on the verge of putting the series away as Game 4 goes down on Saturday night in Ottawa.
Despite the big lead, Matthews understands that the series is far from over and that Game 4 is always the most difficult to win. It will be a game that the Senators get up for.

Having said all of that, the Maple Leafs captain is trying to motivate his team to keep them in check and let them know that is not going to be cakewalk.
While speaking to the media, Matthews revealed what he thinks of Game 4 and even sent a very pointed message at his team that needs to be listened to.
To be honest, it doesn't really mean anything. The fourth game's the hardest one to win. We're gonna enjoy this one and then tomorrow, we're gonna rest up, do what we need to do to get prepared for the fourth game.
Just continue to put our best foot forward and stay focused, stay dialled in. Like I said, the fourth one's the hardest one to win. Can't take our foot off the gas.
They're gonna be ready to play, they're gonna be a desperate team on Saturday, and we need to be ready with a response.

However, there is still a real chance here for the Maple Leafs to just end the series tonight and look ahead to the Florida Panthers or the Tampa Bay Lightning.
Whatever the case may be, this game is going to be an interesting one and we cannot wait to see if the Leafs are able to finish off the Sens once and for all.
If they do, it will have been an embarrassing first time out for these young Sens, particularly Brady Tkachuk who was probably hoping for more.
