Matthews, Campbell lead streaking Leafs

Toronto’s Auston Matthews scored three times to increase his NHLleading goals total to 31, Jack Campbell made 27 saves to set an NHL record for consecutive victories to start a season and the Maple Leafs beat the visiting Ottawa Senators 65 on Saturday night.

Mitch Marner added a goal and three assists for Northleading Toronto, which has won six straight.

“A nice two points,” Matthews said. “But not the prettiest win.”

Matthews had the third hat trick of his career, and also had an assist for a fourpoint night. He has five straight 30goal seasons to start his career.

Matthews and Marner each have 52 points through 41 games to become the first Maple Leafs to crack the halfcentury mark in that span since 194243.

Campbell broke the mark of 10 consecutive wins to start a season set by Montreal’s Carey Price in 201617.

“I definitely owe the boys a nice Red Lobster dinner, that’s for sure,” Campbell said.
