Auston Matthews and Mitch Marner were honored as part of the Toronto Maple Leafs’ Quarter-Century First Team. The Leafs recognized players who have made a significant impact for the franchise since Jan. 1, 2000.
Matthews shared his thoughts on the same after Saturday's win over the Boston Bruins:
"It means a lot, obviously, the history of this franchise. And we're in our ninth season here, and it's obviously special to be a part of a storied franchise like this, and to wear the Maple Leaf every day.
"So, it's not something I don't think anybody takes for granted. So just to be in the same breath and conversation with some of those guys like Matt, Cindy and et cetera, it's a big honor."
