NHL playoffs: Can a Canadian team win the Stanley Cup after 31-year drought?
Matthews picked up an assist and played more than 22 minutes in Sunday’s 2-1 overtime road loss to the Minnesota Wild.
The three-time Maurice (Rocket) Richard Trophy winner led the NHL with 69 goals in 2023-24 — the most by a player in more than three decades.
Matthews succeeded John Tavares as Toronto’s captain in August.
The Leafs play two more home games this week — Friday against the Detroit Red Wings and Saturday against the Montreal Canadiens.
