[Leafs Links] Auston Matthews: “I’d love to see myself on the ice a little bit more, especially in different situations where maybe we’re down a goal… That’s something [Babcock and I] spoke about and I think everyone is on the same page”

Auston Matthews Talks Moustaches, Marner, And Mini Sticks (Tim & Sid)
AM34 joined Tim & Sid to discuss his offseason, his ice time, Marner’s situation, and his mustache.

On his minutes:

I think we’ve talked about it after the season and over the summer, just kind of finding that fine line. I think we’re all on the same page now. As players, we always want to play as much as possible. If I could, I’d be out there for 60 minutes. Obviously, it’s a long season. It’s a grind. You want to make sure you’re deploying the players and getting the most out of them and not overusing them.
