The Toronto Maple Leafs announced that star forward Auston Matthews will miss Tuesday’s game against the New Jersey Devils due to a lower-body injury sustained from a blocked shot. This injury comes as the team is already without forward Dakota Joshua and defenseman Chris Tanev, leading to the recall of Matt Benning and Jacob Quillan. With Matthews contributing 27 points in 33 games this season, the team will rely on depth players like Scott Laughton, Matias Maccelli, and Bobby McMann to maintain offensive momentum in his absence.
