Matthews has averaged 52 goals per season in his nine-year career, but at playoff time, he averages 31.5 goals.

In his past 20 playoff games, nine of them against the Panthers , he has just three goals.

The Maple Leafs need 5 -5 offence from Marner in order to eliminate the Panthers in the playoffs.

Darryl Sittler scored at 37 -goal pace in playoff years for the Leafs.

Matthews and Marner have combined to score one goal in this series.
