Sheldon Keefe on scratching Justin Holl for Wednesday’s game: “At times, he’s been tremendous through some real tough times with injuries… At times, it’s also slipped, and the other night was one of those nights”

How did Auston Matthews look today? What is the outlook going forward with him?

Keefe: I thought he looked good. In terms of the outlook, today’s practice was an important one in terms of getting him the proper reps in a contact jersey and all of that. He hasn’t been in a ton of practice time with the team, but he has skated quite a bit. We will see how he is in the morning and get word from the medical team in terms of his final status.
