Imagine you have never heard of Auston Matthews. What would a little research reveal about him?
Let’s get his vitals: Matthews is 6’3” tall and over 200 lbs, which is a a bit above average for a forward, not huge. He is a left-shooting centre who plays wing on very rare occasions. He likes to score goals. He likes to score goals a lot, actually.
His NHL points so far are 56 percent goals. His regular season points in the NLA (the Swiss League) were 52 percent goals. His US Development Team points were 48 percent goals.
