Center Auston Matthews is one of the few members of the Toronto Maple Leafs struggling to generate offense recently. Toronto has scored six goals four times in its past six games, including a 6-1 home win against the Florida Panthers on Thursday. Fresh from the first four-point game of his NHL career Thursday, forward Connor Brown will play on Matthews' line. "He's been playing great for us all year and he's getting rewarded for it, so it's awesome to see," Matthews said. "We're roommates on the road and hang out quite a bit and he's an unbelievable guy, so it's awesome." After scoring six goals in his first six games, Matthews has no points in his past three games, and no goals and two assists in 11 games since Oct. 25. "It's obviously very frustrating. It's hard not to think about it sometimes but I've just got to go out there and play," he said. "We're still creating chances, still out there playing. I feel like every game there are other things that kind of go unseen that I think I'm improving on, so I've just got to keep going at it, got to keep having fun. The chances are going to continue to come and one of these nights, hopefully tonight, they're going to start going in."
