Auston Matthews and the Toronto Maple Leafs figure it out
Since returning to action, the forward has certainly scored some goals and has looked brilliant at times.
Luckily, after missing the last two games, Chris Johnston is reporting that the captain and the Toronto Maple Leafs are in agreement on what his injury is, and there is nothing that Matthews is hiding from the team.
The Maple Leafs and Auston Matthews seem to have a clear understanding of his current condition, with no concerns about hidden issues or any mystery surrounding other injuries.
The team is confident they know what he's dealing with and believe that with ongoing treatment, his healthiest stretch of the season is still ahead, not behind him.
As we reported on Tuesday, Matthews is deadset on playing, although the Maple Leafs would prefer that he doesn't.
This makes a whole lot of sense when you consider that the captain is a competitor, and the team is just trying to preserve their asset for the playoffs.
Only time will tell whether or not both sides
