Auston Matthews has 1 goal in the last 5 games. That's a 16 goals/82 game pace, and over the past 5 games it's a S% of 4.8%.
Here's his S% over the past 5 seasons:
2020-2021 = 18.5% (41g in 52 games)
2021-2022 = 17.2% 60g in 73 games)
2022-2023 = 12.2% (that was his problematic season but still managed 40 goals in 74 games)
2023-2024 = 18.7% (69 goals in 81 games)
2024-2025 = 11.5% (currently at 23 goals and his S% is dropping)
He's not getting better playing through this right now, he's getting worse.
Nobody here is a doctor, ok well one is, but nobody here has really any idea what medical issue Matthews is currently playing through. But like you said whatever it is and whatever plan the Leafs have him on currently clearly isn't working. Matthews playing like this basically guarantees an early playoff exit. Something has to be done to get him closer to 100% and I just can't see how constantly playing him over 20 minutes a night including top PK minutes is going to do that.He's not getting better playing through this right now, he's getting worse.
