The all-star break is a great chance for players to sit back and relax before diving into the playoff push.

It's also a week where players get to spend some of the hard-earned contracts, often heading to exotic destinations.

While this is how most of the Maple Leafs team spent their time off, Auston Matthews is a different beast.

Instead of sunbathing on the beaches in the Bahamas, he rehabbed his knee injury and skated as much as he could. Teammate William Nylander also spent the week in the gym with his brother Alexander.

Clearly the top guys are all-in this season. No point in losing their momentum now!
