Matthews skates for first time since injury

Matthews (upper body) is skating for the first time this week at practice Saturday, according to David Alter of The Hockey News.

Matthews is on injured reserve and will not be eligible to play Saturday versus Montreal, but this bodes well for Tuesday's tilt at home against Ottawa. The 27-year-old superstar has five goals and 11 points in 13 games this season.

The Maple Leafs placed Auston Matthews on injured reserve, retroactive to November 3rd. T

While the Leafs haven't disclosed the exact nature of Matthews' injury, it's believed to be a lingering issue that has affected his performance this season. Matthews' absence will likely extend into early next week, as he hasn't been practicing with the team.

Despite his absence, the Leafs have found success, winning their most recent game against the Bruins.

Grubauer was absent from practice today and head coach Dan Bylsma provided clarity during his media availability. Bylsma stated that he is fine and that the expectation is that he will be back within the next couple of days.
