Auston Matthews missed Friday s practice due to a nagging injury. He s not ruled out for tomorrow, said head coach Sheldon Keefe. We ll have to see how he continues to progress.
The 23-year-old centre has played through the pain most of the season, but aggravated the hand/wrist issue in the second period of Wednesday s game against the Calgary Flames. Matthews didn t take faceoffs down the stretch and didn t score, but still managed to produce two assists while logging more than 22 minutes.

TSN Toronto Reporter Mark Masters reports on the Maple Leafs, who practised at the Ford Performance Centre on Friday ahead of Saturday’s game against the Vancouver Canucks.
Jason Spezza and Auston Matthews led the Leafs to a convincing 7-3 win on Thursday night and came within a whisker of ending a 56-year drought. Spezza scored three goals while Matthews potted a pair against the Vancouver Canucks. The last time two Leafs recorded a hat trick in the same game? Dave Keon and Bob Pulford did it against the New York Rangers in 1965.
Matthews and Spezza were both back on the ice before practice on Friday working on their craft. Matthews was fine-tuning his shot.

Before starting a special teams drill on Wednesday, the Leafs players were called over to the bench where a big-screen television had been set up. Video and coaching co-ordinator Sam Kim had clips of the Vancouver Canucks power play ready to roll. I haven t seen a TV put on the bench during practice in my career so that was a nice first for pretty much everyone on the ice, said defenceman Travis Dermott.
