Toronto Maple Leafs center Auston Matthews has been placed on the injured reserve with an upper-body injury, the team announced on Friday. The move is retroactive to Nov. 3.
Head coach Craig Berube had already told reporters Matthews would miss a second straight game as the Leafs faced the Detroit Red Wings on Friday night. The IR designation means Matthews will also be sidelined for Saturday's contest against the visiting Montreal Canadiens.
Matthews will be eligible to return before the Leafs face the Ottawa Senators at home on Tuesday.
