NHL goal-scoring leader Auston Matthews scored two goals, including one of three for Toronto in the second period, as the Maple Leafs defeated the Lightning 5-0 in Game 1 of their first-round playoff series Monday at Scotiabank Arena in Toronto.

Matthews potted a power-play goal, David Kampf scored shorthanded and Mitch Marner added an even-strength goal as the Maple Leafs stretched a 1-0 lead after the first period to a 4-0 advantage heading to the third.

Matthews, whose 60 goals during the regular season were a Toronto franchise record, scored his second of the game midway through the third when Lightning goaltender Andrei Vasilevskiy couldn’t get to a puck that caromed behind the net.

The Maple Leafs’ Jake Muzzin opened the scoring with a blast from the left point through a screen with less than two minutes remaining in the first period.

The Lightning were 0-for-5 on the power play, including a five-minute opportunity after Kyle Clifford received a major penalty and game misconduct for boarding Ross Colton in the first period.

Tampa Bay’s Corey Perry and Pat Maroon and Toronto’s Morgan Rielly and Ilya Lyubushkin followed Clifford to the locker room after a series of fights broke out midway through the third.

Here’s how it happened:

We begin with 4-on-4, with Pierre Engvall and Brandon Hagel starting the period in the penalty box

Engvall pass for Ondrej Kase on 2-on-1 is knocked away in front of the net

Wayne Simmonds shot into traffic blocked before getting to the net

Lightning ice the puck

Engvall snap shot from low in the right circle saved by Vasilevskiy

Brodie drive stopped by Vasilevskiy

Stamkos quick shot blocked

Sergachev blast from above left circle saved by Campbell

MAPLE LEAFS GOAL: Matthews scores his second goal of the game after Vasilevskiy can’t get to a puck that caromed behind the Lightning net. Maple Leafs 5-0.

Maple Leafs wind up with a four-minute power play after Pat Maroon, Corey Perry, Wayne Simmonds, Morgan Rielly and others get into a major scuffle following a hard Simmonds hit on Jan Rutta. Maroon, Perry, Rielly and Ilya Lyubushkin receive game misconducts.
