MIKE MATHESON NEWS

Extends point streak to four games Matheson picked up a goal and an assist in Tuesday's 8-4 loss to the Rangers.

Impact Matheson has put together an impressive four-game point streak (two goals, four assists). The hot streak probably won't last much longer considering he had only five points in his first 27 games with the Penguins, but Matheson could be worth a look in the short term while he's rolling.

Pretty goal ends up winner Matheson scored the game-winning goal Thursday in a 4-1 victory over the Penguins.

Impact It was a pretty end-to-end rush for the defender. He roared down the right side, burst past the defender while protecting the puck and drove hard at Dan Vladar. Matheson slid the puck wide and around the sprawling netminder, and pushed it home. It was a Sports Center moment for sure. Matheson has gotten warm of late -- he has four points in his last five games.
