Toronto Maple Leafs Milestones: Player records to watch this season

For a team with such a storied history, the Toronto Maple Leafs don’t actually have very good player records. They’ve never had that game-breaking superstar that puts the team’s scoring record out of reach.

So, when Auston Matthews became a superstar, it was clear he would be setting all kinds of records in the blue and white.

But it’s not just him; ple nty of other players on the Leafs could set team records or hit individual milestones this year. Let’s take a look at some of them:

Auston Matthews: Maple Leafs goal record

With 20 more goals, Matthews will become the Leafs all-time goal-scoring leader. It’s actually absurd how fast it’s happened, as he’ll do it in over 300 games fewer than Mats Sundin. Matthews is obviously one of the best goal scorers of all time, and the best in the league right now, but it’s still a wild achievement this early in his career.

If Matthews stays in the blue and white until he’s 40, he will set one of those can’t-be-reached records the Leafs lack. He could easily hit 750-800 goals and even flirt with the all-time NHL record.

It is kinda sad there are only two Leafs ever with over 400 goals with the franchise, but w atching Matthews establish himself as maybe the best Maple Leaf ever has been incredible. Even without the postseason success, we all know Matthews should retire the best skater in Leafs history.

William Nylander: 300 goals, 400 assists, 700 points

If William Nylander has an unreal season, specifically 38 goals and 50 assists, he’ll reach 300 career goals and 400 career assists. This would move him into eighth all-time in Leafs scoring and establish him as one of the best players to don the blue and white.

Nylander’s career has taken off over the past three seasons, seeing him score 40 goals in each and be over a point-per-game player on the second line.

With Marner gone, Nyland er should get more time with the puck on the powerplay and could even move up to play beside Matthews if the lines work out that way. He could easily reach these totals—just two years ago, he scored 40 goals with 58 assists—and it’ll make him a true Leafs superstar.

John Tavares: 500 goals

There are just 48 players ever to hit the 500-goal milestone, and John Tavares will become the 49th this year. 

The future Hall of Famer won’t have any argument as one of the greats after six more goals, and hopefully, the achievement gives Tavares some of the respect he deserves that he doesn’t seem to get.

Tavares’ Leafs career has been weird, as his contract loomed over it all, but he has been a productive and positive player his entire Toronto tenure. Now, he’ ll get to celebrate a massive achievement in the blue and white without having the $11M deal hanging over his head.

I can’t wait to see how different this market treats him without the mega contract, just letting him play and enjoy doing it. His 500th goal will be awesome, and luckily, it will happen early in the season.

Max Domi: 500 points

With a 50-point season, Max Domi will reach 500 for his career. He has just two such seasons in his career, and they both came early, but with a chance to play with Auston Matthews in 2025–26, 50 is easily attainable.

Domi is one of the most polarizing players in Toronto and honestly around the league. He produces points—the most important stat in the game—but doesn’t consistently win his minutes or play defence.

Leafs fans seemed done with him last year after a couple of brutal stretches on the third line, but he might have been their best forward in the playoffs. In 13 games he had three goals and seven points, most of them clutch. 

Five hundred points is nothing to scoff at, and it would be really cool for Domi to hit the milestone in blue and white, where his dad also became a legend.
