BREAKING : Worst is confirmed for the Leafs and the NHL
The Maple Leafs have had their fair share of issues with injuries since the season started. While they are working to break the first round in the playoffs curse, a bad news just came in.
In an official statement coming from the Maple Leafs, they've just announced that Auston Matthews would be out for a little while.
"Injury update: Maple Leafs forward Auston Matthews will be out of the lineup for a minimum of three weeks due to a knee sprain suffered in Wednesday's game vs. NYR."
The news has gone around the league quite fast. The Maple Leafs top centerman has been on a good streak lately, with 25 goals and 53 points through 47 games this season.
Matthews was set to represent the Leafs at the upcoming All-Star break next weekend. Matthews will obviously be taking a break from the festivities and Aleksander Barkov will replace him for the occasion.
