Leafs’ Matthews injures shoulder, will miss game

NHL

TORONTO — Toronto Maple Leafs center Auston Matthews will miss Monday’s game after leaving with a left shoulder injury in Saturday’s 3-2 win over the Winnipeg Jets.

Matthews will be re-examined Monday but won’t practice or play against the Calgary Flames, Leafs coach Mike Babcock said after the game.

Matthews appeared to injure his left shoulder after absorbing a hit from defenseman Jacob Trouba early in the second period.

The 21-year-old cut to the front of the net with the puck and, as he attempted to shoot on goalie Connor Hellebuyck, Trouba went shoulder-to-shoulder with Matthews.

Matthews leads the Leafs with 10 goals and 16 points.
