Nothing is right in Toronto at this moment. The Maple Leafs lost yet another game at home, and they were down 3-1 in their series against the Big Bad Bruins. As if their poor performances weren't enough, they may not have their biggest weapon on the ice next game, as it was announced moments before the third period that their top scorer, Auston Matthews, would not be returning.
The Maple Leafs' Head Coach, Sheldon Keefe, addressed the media regarding his superstar. He confirmed that the team's doctors pulled Matthews due to an illness. Remember that Matthews hasn't been practicing with the team for the last two days.
The 1st overall draft selection in the 2016 Draft has lived up to the expectations in the regular season thus far.

In the playoffs this year, he's registered 3 points, all during game two, the Maple Leafs' lone win.
