What happened: Auston Matthews recorded a top-shelf goal and two assists to lead the Toronto Maple Leafs past the Ottawa Senators. The performance highlights his strong start to the exhibition schedule.

Why it matters: His mobility is a focal point after he underwent season-ending knee surgery last March. He enters his 11th training camp aiming to guide a reset roster following off-season changes.

What to watch: Toronto opens the 2026-27 regular season on September 29.
