TSN Toronto Reporter Mark Masters reports on the Maple Leafs, who practised at the Ford Performance Centre on Thursday before travelling to Ottawa for Friday’s game against the Senators.
Auston Matthews was in discomfort at the end of regulation on Wednesday night after absorbing a couple cross-checks to the back from Montreal Canadiens defencemen Shea Weber and Ben Chiarot. I think he just took a bit of a stinger, coach Sheldon Keefe said after the game.
Matthews didn t miss a shift and assisted on the Morgan Rielly goal in overtime. And the centre was back on the ice looking like his usual self at practice on Thursday.
