Sure. Why not?

 

[MattySnipes]

Team must be aware of this stat. I'm sure if he doesn't score, rest of team will set him up all night to get 1.

The way the thread title is worded, the only possible answer is yes. As worded ,the question is not about whether or not Matthews will score but rather about whether or not him scoring a goal makes NHL history.

In the tweet from the NHL PR account they say if Matthews scores a goal tomorrow he will be the first player to do that in 5 straight season openers. So I thought the question is rather obvious.

Well, now it won't happen because you asked. So if it doesn't happen, its entirely @LeafsNation75 fault.

What about the NHL PR Twitter account for originally putting out that tweet with the information.

 

[Mickey Marner]

Yeah probably.

 

[Buds17]

Good company that's he in with already. I definitely like the chances of him having that record for his own.

 

[al secord]

Maybe. Maybe not.

 

[Confucius]

Yeah agreed. You didnt word it correctly.

If he scores 1 goal history is made. That's it. If he doesn't he stays at 4 straight seasons with a goal in first game.

I saw this tweet so that's why I didnt hassle you bc I knew what you're trying to say.

 

[MattySnipes]

Let's make it 5

3 on Pricey. 2 on Allen.

 

[Varcus]

Well he does like scoring on price so I fully expect him to have his chances and hopefully score a few. Just think we will hopefully get price all 10 games. I expect matthews to have a very good year

Matthews playing the Senators 8 x this season will help him with the Rocket Richard and maybe the Hart Trophy.

Matthews is going GPG this year if he’s healthy

Matthews would be a healthy scratch if Babcock was still coaching.
