Toronto Maple Leafs Should Give Auston Matthews Time to Heal

The Toronto Maple Leafs don’t play until Saturday in Edmonton, and while a few days off in a row during the middle of the season is a nice bonus, their best player could use a bit more than that.

The Toronto Maple Leafs should give Auston Matthews an extended break in order to get healthy.

Now, I don’t know for sure that Matthews is injured, but a couple weeks ago the coach did talk about him being banged up, and in addition to missing time earlier in the year, he recently took a puck off the leg (although he did return to that game).
