Craig Berube on Auston Matthews’ situation:
He is just not going to go tonight. He took a cross-check late in the third period on the power play. It just aggravated it.
Berube on the team’s play without Auston Matthews this season:
They’ve played well. If you look back at the games when he was out, we checked extremely well because we need to. Was our scoring down a little bit? Yes, but we were still winning close hockey games because everyone was focusing on the checking part and doing their job.
