During their first match, Team Matthews narrowly secured a 6-5 win against Team Hughes. Despite the victory, the performance of the team's captain left much to be desired. Notably, the duo of Auston Matthews and Mitch Marner ended the game with a -3 rating.
In the championship match against Team McDavid, Matthews and Marner were notably assigned to separate lines, a strategy rarely seen under Sheldon Keefe's tenure. Following the match, questions were raised to Montgomery regarding his strategic decision to split the pair.
Team Matthews clinched the final game with a 7-4 victory, thanks to Matthews scoring twice and adding an assist, with Clayton Keller contributing significantly as well. This performance could serve as a valuable teaching moment for Sheldon Keefe, should the Leafs aim to achieve success this spring.
