He doesn't have an overall career PPG stat line. While his previous 2 season were above PPG, it was only 1.01 and 1.07. Good, but not among the best in the league. He's been injured the past 2 years and hasn't played full seasons since his rookie year. His GPG average is IMO his best stat, but still well below Ovechkin's recent seasons.
Honest questions; so other then his draft position and the Maple Leaf jersey he wears, what exactly makes him a top 10 player seemingly every season?

From what I understand, Matthews is a beast when it comes to goals/60.
This metric is important because he is injured a lot
