Auston Matthews Looking "Amazing" in Pre-Camp Skates

Toronto Maple Leafs center Auston Matthews (knee) has been turning heads during pre-training camp skates, TSN's Mark Masters reports. Maple Leafs defenseman Christopher Tanev told reporters on Thursday that Matthews has looked "amazing" in the informal skates. Matthews has been hampered by health issues in recent years and underwent MCL surgery in March, which ended his 2025-26 campaign. He posted 53 points (27 goals, 26 assists) in 63 games during a disappointing season. With him now fully healthy, Matthews could bounce back in style in 2026-27.

Maple Leafs Confident of Keeping Auston Matthews

Toronto Maple Leafs center Auston Matthews looks set to stay put this offseason, ESPN's Kristen Shilton reports. Matthews' future has appeared murky after the team missed the playoffs this season, but Toronto's new general manager, John Chayka, expects the star forward to stick around after meeting with him. "What I saw was a happy captain," Chayka said at the NHL scouting combine on Friday. "[Someone] who's got a lot of pride in being the captain of the Toronto Maple Leafs, someone who wants to win in Toronto, which aligns with how we're thinking about it." Matthews has spent his entire 10-year NHL career with the Maple Leafs but hasn't advanced past the second round of the playoffs. He has recently dealt with health issues, posting a career-low 53 points (27 goals, 26 assists) in 60 games this season. Matthews is poised for a strong bounce-back season in 2026-27, and it appears he will be wearing a Maple Leafs uniform.

Auston Matthews Uncertain About Future With Maple Leafs

Toronto Maple Leafs center Auston Matthews is uncertain about his future with the team, ESPN's Greg Wyshynski reports. Toronto won the 2026 draft lottery this week, giving the team a boost after a disappointing season, but Matthews' future may lie elsewhere. He has two years remaining on his contract, with a $13.25 million cap hit and a full no-movement clause. Matthews missed the playoffs for the first time with Toronto this season and has never advanced past the second round since entering the league in 2016. He has enjoyed significant individual success, earning the Hart Trophy in 2022 and three Rocket Richard Trophies. At 28, Matthews is still in his prime, but no career lasts forever, and he may want a change of scenery to improve his chances of winning the Stanley Cup.

Auston Matthews Ruled Out for 12 Weeks

Toronto Maple Leafs center Auston Matthews (knee) underwent successful MCL surgery and will require 12 weeks of recovery time, the team announced Thursday. Toronto's captain was previously already ruled out for the rest of the 2025-26 regular season. The latest update means that Matthews also won't be available for Team USA for the 2026 IIHF World Championship. For the second consecutive season, Matthews' campaign has been significantly impacted by injury. He played 67 games last season and appeared in 60 games this term, finishing with a career-low 53 points (27 goals, 26 assists). Matthews is expected to be fully healthy in time for training camp in the fall.

Auston Matthews to Miss Rest of Season

Toronto Maple Leafs center Auston Matthews (knee) will miss the rest of the 2025-26 season, the team announced Friday. The Maple Leafs captain was injured on Thursday against the Anaheim Ducks and has been diagnosed with a Grade 3 MCL tear and a bruised quadriceps muscle. Toronto will re-evaluate him in two weeks. Matthews finishes his 10th NHL campaign with 53 points (27 goals, 26 assists) in 60 games. It's his first season without averaging at least a point per game since his rookie year in 2016-17. John Tavares will take over the top-line center job for the rest of the season.

Auston Matthews Exits Game With Injury

Toronto Maple Leafs center Auston Matthews (lower body) was forced to leave the game with a lower-body injury in Thursday's 6-4 victory against the Ducks. The Maple Leafs captain was injured on a knee-on-knee collision in the second period of the contest, with Ducks captain Radko Gudas getting a major penalty for kneeing and a game misconduct, too. Matthews was assisted by a trainer and was only able to put minimal weight on his leg. Before the injury, Matthews scored a power-play goal to bring his season total to 27 goals through 60 games.

Auston Matthews Becomes Maple Leafs' All-Time Goals Leader

Toronto Maple Leafs center Auston Matthews became the team's all-time top goal scorer with two markers in Saturday's 4-3 overtime loss to the New York Islanders. He reached 421 career goals, moving past Mats Sundin, who was the record holder since 2007. While the 2025-26 season has been a struggle at times for Matthews, he has become only the fifth active player with 20-plus goals in their first 10 seasons. Six of his markers have come across the past four games as Matthews approaches a point-per-game scoring pace for the season. He is up to 33 points (20 goals, 13 assists) in 35 games, with nearly a third of his points (10) coming since last Saturday.

Auston Matthews Opens 2026 With Four-Point Effort

Toronto Maple Leafs center Auston Matthews produced a big performance on New Year's Day, totaling four points in a 6-5 victory over the Winnipeg Jets. He potted his 14th career hat trick and delivered one assist, helping Toronto win the game from a 4-1 deficit. Matthews passed Pat LaFontaine for the most hat tricks by a U.S.-born player in NHL history and now needs only two more tallies to break Mats Sundin's franchise record. Recently, Matthews has begun to regain form, tallying eight points (four goals, four assists) across his past three appearances. Yet, he still isn't averaging a point per game for the season, sitting on 18 goals and 13 assists after 34 outings.

Auston Matthews Returns From One-Game Absence

Toronto Maple Leafs center Auston Matthews (lower body) will return to the lineup for Thursday's matchup against the Winnipeg Jets. The Maple Leafs captain missed Tuesday's 4-0 victory over the New Jersey Devils due to a lower-body injury. Matthews has failed to match his high standards in 2025-26, but he finished 2025 on a high. The star forward has managed four points (one goal, three assists) over his last two appearances, reaching 27 points (15 goals, 12 assists) for the season. Unfortunately, Matthews has once again been bothered by injuries, appearing in only 33 of 39 games. On Thursday, Matthews will center the first line, working with Max Domi and Matthews Knies. John Tavares will drop to the second line, joining Bobby McMann and Matias Maccelli.

Auston Matthews a Game-Time Call Tuesday

Toronto Maple Leafs center Auston Matthews (lower body) is a game-time decision on Tuesday against the New Jersey Devils. The Maple Leafs captain sustained a lower-body injury while blocking a shot during Sunday's matchup against the Detroit Red Wings. Toronto's frontline has already been without William Nylander (lower body), and losing Matthews would be another bad blow. If Matthews can't play on Tuesday, John Tavares would assume first-line center duties, while Nicholas Roy and Scott Laughton could also see increased ice time. Tavares has begun to heat up with a three-game point streak, and a spot on the first line would make him an even more attractive fantasy target.

Auston Matthews Bags Three Points Saturday Night

Toronto Maple Leafs center Auston Matthews ended a four-game point drought on Saturday with a big performance in a 7-5 victory over the Ottawa Senators. He scored Toronto's fourth goal and set up two others. The Maple Leafs captain became the second U.S.-born player in NHL history to score 40-plus goals in a calendar year at least seven times. It will be something to build on for Matthews, who has had a torrid time in 2025-26. In 32 outings, he has settled for 15 goals and 26 points. Next up, Matthews faces the Detroit Red Wings, who limited him to one assist in two games early in the season.

Auston Matthews Could Be an Option Wednesday

Toronto Maple Leafs center Auston Matthews (lower body) is close to returning to the lineup and may make his comeback in Wednesday's contest against the Columbus Blue Jackets. Matthews Knies (lower body) and Nicolas Roy (upper body) could also return to give Toronto's attack a big boost. All three players practiced for a second straight day on Tuesday. Matthews has missed five games after getting hurt in a contest against the Boston Bruins on Nov. 11. The Maple Leafs captain has not been at his best in 2025-26, recording nine goals and 14 points in 17 games.

Auston Matthews Doubtful for Saturday

Toronto Maple Leafs center Auston Matthews (lower body) practiced on Friday, but head coach Craig Berube labeled him as "doubtful" for Saturday's matchup against the Montreal Canadiens. The Maple Leafs captain is in danger of missing a fifth consecutive game due to a lower-body injury. Health issues and poor form have left Matthews in sixth place on Toronto's scoring charts. The three-time Rocket Richard Trophy winner has totaled only 14 points (nine goals, five assists) in 17 appearances this season. Matthew Knies (lower body), who has sat out two games, is also considered doubtful for Saturday, meaning Calle Jarnkrok will skate on the top line. Bobby McMann and Max Domi are also penciled in for top-six jobs.

Auston Matthews to Miss at Least Two More Games

Toronto Maple Leafs center Auston Matthews (lower body) is expected to miss at least two more games. Tuesday's clash against the St. Louis Blues will mark Matthews' third consecutive absence, and he is also unlikely to play in Thursday's matchup against the Columbus Blue Jackets. Nicolas Roy (upper body) also won't be in the lineup on Tuesday, leaving Toronto without two of its top-three centermen. Jacob Quillan has been brought up from the minors to enter the lineup, while John Tavares will continue to center the first line. Tavares already has 10 points this month and can further boost his numbers against the NHL's worst defense on Tuesday.

Auston Matthews Likely to Miss One Week

Toronto Maple Leafs center Auston Matthews (lower body) is expected to miss a week of action. The Maple Leafs captain suffered a lower-body injury on Tuesday against the Boston Bruins. Matthews' absence will begin with Thursday's clash against the Los Angeles Kings. During his time on the sidelines, Toronto will use John Tavares as the first-line center. Max Domi is set to start Thursday's game on the second line. Domi has struggled to make a mark this season, but he now finds himself in a good position to get his season going. The 30-year-old will also skate with the first power-play unit on Thursday.

Auston Matthews Hurt in Tuesday's Loss

Toronto Maple Leafs center Auston Matthews (lower body) made an early exit against the Boston Bruins on Tuesday night. He left the action after absorbing a hit from Bruins defenseman Nikita Zadorov, finishing with 10:51 of ice time. No update was provided on Matthews after the game. "I don't know exactly," Maple Leafs head coach Craig Berube said. "I can't give you a timeline or how serious it is right now. I'm not sure when he hurt it, to be honest with you." Matthews hasn't missed any games this season yet. However, the Maple Leafs captain has been off form, settling for 14 points (nine goals, five assists) in 17 games. He has finished scoreless in four of his last eight outings. Max Domi could get back into the top six if Matthews has to miss time.

Auston Matthews Sparks Maple Leafs Comeback

Toronto Maple Leafs center Auston Matthews recorded a goal and an assist in the team's comeback victory over the Pittsburgh Penguins on Monday night, turning a three-goal deficit into a 4-3 win. This marked only the third time in franchise history that the Maple Leafs have won a game in regulation after trailing by three goals in the final frame. Matthews scored the first goal of the comeback and provided an assist on Toronto's third goal, which tied the game with less than seven minutes remaining in the third period. In 2025-26, Matthews has been quiet by his standards. However, he's now scored in back-to-back games, boosting his scoring total to 11 points (seven goals, four assists) through 13 appearances. The Maple Leafs captain will attempt to record his fourth three-game goal streak of the calendar year in Wednesday's matchup against the Utah Mammoth.

Auston Matthews Says His Health is "Good" Before Start of Season

Toronto Maple Leafs center Auston Matthews has shaken off injury troubles and appears to be at 100 percent entering the new season. During an appearance at a Hockey Night In Brampton event this week, Matthews said his health was "good." Last season, the Maple Leafs captain missed 15 games with a lingering upper-body injury and scored a career-low 33 goals in 67 games, appearing limited at times. Despite struggling to perform at his best, Matthews still averaged over a point per game and finished the season with 78 points. A third 100-point season isn't out of the question for Matthews in 2025-26 if he stays healthy.

Auston Matthews Aims to Be "100 Percent" Next Season

Toronto Maple Leafs center Auston Matthews expects to be fully healthy for the start of next season after playing the 2024-25 campaign while dealing with an injury. "Definitely a tough year physically," Matthews said Tuesday, "but I'm confident with some time off and just going through my own process and treatment and everything, I'm really confident I'll be back 100 percent next season and it's nothing for me to worry about." While managing a lingering injury, Matthews' numbers dropped in all categories this season, as the Maple Leafs captain was limited to 33 goals and 78 points in 67 games. In the playoffs, he scored only three goals on 47 shots, settling for 11 points in 13 games. Matthews' efforts in 2024-25 disappointed many fantasy managers, but the three-time Rocket Richard Trophy winner looks to be planning a big bounce-back year.

Auston Matthews Ends Goal Drought Friday

Toronto Maple Leafs center Auston Matthews registered the game-winning goal in Friday's 2-0 win over the Florida Panthers. In a tight Game 6, Matthews broke the tie 6:20 into the third period, ending a five-game goal drought. The Maple Leafs captain had four shots on net overall and recorded one block and one hit with two penalty minutes in the contest, logging 18:14 of ice time. Florida had limited Matthews to only three points in the series before Game 6. Remarkably, he had previously not scored a single goal outside of Round 1 in the playoffs. Toronto will need a big contribution again from Matthews in Sunday's Game 7. He has registered three goals and 11 points in 12 contests this postseason.
