Leafs superstar Auston Matthews made national headlines several weeks ago after making like a ref and pointing to the net after scoring. Matthews had a goal wiped out a shift before due to goaltender interference. So he scored again minutes later and made sure everyone in the entire arena knew it was a good goal.
Matthews repeated the goal celebration with Jack Eichel at the NHL All-Star Game, and now I’m happy to report you can do the celly now as Matthews on NHL18 too. During the most recent NHL18 roster update, video game developers assigned a previously created custom celebration to Digi Auston and it’s great.
Check it out.

Yes, this is fantastic.
Leafs reporter Jeff Veillette was the first to point out the news.
.@EASPORTSNHL put an in-depth version of @AM34's celebration into the game, just for him, and I'm all for it. pic.twitter.com/vfhrNl0UpA

To get Digi Auston to start pointing, just press Y/Triangle after scoring.
I think others in the EA NHL community have said that the celebration was already in the game as a custom celly, but EA's recent update just mapped it to Auston's character so it's the default when he presses Y/Triangle.

I will never get sick of this.
