Auston Matthews just left the game after blocking a shot. This could mean he is dealing with an injury.

Matthews Leaves Game

The Leafs have already been without Matthews for eight games this year. Hopefully this won't mean anything long term, as the Leafs are a worse team without their #1 center.

The shot was taken to the inside of the knee, which is always one of the most dangerous places to have impact.

We will update this story as more details come out.
