Maple Leafs Captain Auston Matthews Reveals the Truth Behind his Scoring Struggles

"I think at this time of year, it takes the group, it takes everybody out there. No matter what your role is, you gotta sacrifice and do all the little things. Obviously, you want to produce, you want to do all of that stuff, but like I said, puck battles, faceoffs, blocking shots, making plays at the right time, taking care of pucks in the right areas, those are all the little things that accumulate over the time, over games, over series, and those are the details you need to win."

"I mean, there's obviously things like everybody else that you're looking at that they can do better. They have tough matchups with the Stutzle line. It's a good line. I think they're doing a good job defensively and checking and doing a lot of good things. You just got to keep going."
