The Toronto Maple Leafs have played some of their most uninspiring hockey of the season over the past week or so. They have lost three games in a row in regulation for the first time since last season following losses to the Dallas Stars on Tuesday night,

Still without a timeline for return, Matthews spoke with media for the first time since he last played on Dec. 20.

Maple Leafs captain Auston Matthews, who has already missed five straight games, gave a cryptic update regarding his health.

Toronto Maple Leafs head coach Craig Berube provided an optimistic update on Auston Matthews’ recovery from an upper-body injury, though he confirmed the star center will not play in the New York's Eve game against the New York Islanders.

As captain, Matthews hopes to emulate Thornton's leadership qualities, led by his focus on inclusivity and bringing everyone together.

Toronto Maple Leafs captain Auston Matthews feels that his team is overcomplicating things on the power play and they need to get back to basics. In Saturday’s shutout loss to the Vancouver Canucks, the Leafs got three power-play chances on the night and combined to record two shots (both of which were on the first attempt).

Matthews has missed each of the Maple Leafs' last five games with an upper-body injury and will sit out of tonight's affair after being added to the injured reserve on Tuesday. Toronto has found some success without its captain, but that doesn't change that Craig Berube's team is significantly better when the 27-year-old is healthy.

Auston Matthews explained why he brought San Jose Sharks legend Joe Thornton on the Toronto Maple Leafs Mentor trip.

The captain of the Toronto Maple Leafs is nearing playing for the United States at upcoming 4 Nations Face-Off.

Toronto Maple Leafs general manager Brad Treliving believes Auston Matthews will be more than ready for the upcoming 4 Nations Face-Off after returning to the lineup in January.
