Toronto Maple Leafs centre @Auston Matthews scored his team-leading 10th goal of the 2021–22 season during the second period of Sunday&#8217;s game against the Anaheim Ducks.

The 24-year-old forward deflected a long shot by TJ Brodie past Ducks goaltender @John Gibson to give the Maple Leafs a 1–0 lead at the 7:48 mark of the middle frame.
@Michael Bunting picked up the secondary assist on Matthews&#8217; goal. Matthews is the second Maple Leafs player to hit the double-digit mark in goals this season, joining team captain @John Tavares (who also has 10).
Here&#8217;s the video of the goal, as posted to Twitter by the verified Toronto Maple Leafs account:
