Matthews receives “time that he needs” from the Maple Leafs to recuperate from illness.

Considering that the Maple Leafs did not practice on Sunday, it seems unlikely that their best player would have been on the ice in the first place.

Coach Sheldon Keefe of the Leafs stated, “For whatever reason, it is not one of those run-of-the-mill, everyday types of illnesses that sort of come and go.” The effects of this one have persisted, and they have gotten worse when he is asserting himself on the ice.

 

All we have to do is control it and give him the time he requires. We are hoping it will change.”
