PITTSBURGH -- Auston Matthews scored for the first time in three games since returning from a lower-body injury, and the Toronto Maple Leafs won 7-2 against the Pittsburgh Penguins at PPG Paints Arena on Saturday. Matthews, who also had an assist for the second straight game, missed five games from Nov. 13-22.
Forward Max Domi, in the second year of a four-year, $15 million deal signed in 2024, was a healthy scratch for the first time this season.
The Leafs' loss to the Capitals was yet another example of how far they have fallen, and how far they look from being a playoff team.
