Auston Matthews scored his 400th career goal in the Toronto Maple Leafs' 4-0 win over the Buffalo Sabres, securing the team's first Atlantic Division title. The victory also saw Mitch Marner reach a career-high 100 points. Matthews, the sixth-fastest player to reach 400 goals, will face the Ottawa Senators in the playoffs as the Eastern Conference's second seed.
Matthews, a former No. 1 pick from the 2016 draft, reflected on the milestone as a team accomplishment. Anthony Stolarz, in his first season with the Maple Leafs, earned a shutout in the game. Toronto set a franchise record with 25 road wins and claimed its third division title. Coach Craig Berube praised the team's buy-in and leadership for their success.
