DALLAS — Welcome to the Auston Matthews Show.
During the Stars’ 4-3 overtime loss to the Maple Leafs on Thursday night, the American Airlines Center became the stage for a record-setting performance by the Hart Trophy favorite. Matthews scored two goals, including the overtime winner, and fired a career-high 12 shots on goal.
Stars goaltender Scott Wedgewood tried to steal Matthews’ spotlight by making 37 saves in his first home start since joining the Stars last month. It was Wedgewood’s first loss in three games in a Stars sweater.
