So i forgot to remember to celebrate Matthews' 40th goal properly.
With goal #40, Matthews tied Ovechkin's Age 26 end of season goal total at 339 goals. He's done it in 26 fewer games than Ovy did it, and there's 35 games left in the season for Matthews to extend his lead over Ovy by age 26.
There's even the outside chance, if Matthews can score 32 goals the rest of the way (giving him 72 on the season), that Matthews by age 26 can match Ovy's total after his age 27 season, as Ovy only scored 32 goals in his age 27 season.
Either way, with his next goal, Matthews moves past Ovy's career goals at the same age.
