TORONTO — Auston Matthews was feeling pretty lonely on the sidelines, so he had to start fast-tracking his recovery.
Matthews’ wrist problems date back to last season, when the nagging issue cropped up early on and ultimately forced the centre to miss four games. “He shot the puck a lot harder today. It's the first time I saw him really leaning into one-timers. He got into some contact stuff, which we didn’t expect him to do, but he wanted to and felt really good.”
While Matthews didn’t have the patience to stay away from his teammates, he is willing to wait on his wrist before getting back in a game. “It’s just puck battles, faceoffs, just getting back into all that,” Matthews said. “And then having to react to certain positions and stick battles. So, it was good to hop into practice today and feel that out. Everything felt good.”
