Auston Matthews goes for “The Michigan” lacrosse goal but gets shut down with a beautiful save!

Toronto Maple Leafs captain has been on fire lately, piling up five goals in his last four games, but tonight he tried to take things to a whole new level. 

Matthews attempted "The Michigan" lacrosse style goal tonight against the Tampa Bay Lightning but was shut down perfectly by Lightning goaltender Jonas Johansson.

Check it out:

Excellently played by Matthews, but even better played by Johansson. Traditionalists may not like it, but that's just fantastic, high level hockey right there. The league's best goal scorer tries a ridiculously creative move only to get stuffed by a sharp goaltender. That's hockey, baby!
