Maple Leafs' Auston Matthews: Won't require surgery
Matthews (shoulder) will not require surgery to repair his injured left shoulder, Kristen Shilton of TSN.ca reports.
Analysis:
Perhaps the only silverlining for fans and fantasy owners is the fact that Matthews didn't re-injure the same shoulder that cost him a month of the 2017-18 campaign. The world-class center was off to a strong start to the season, as he racked up 10 goals and six helpers in 11 games. The 21-year-old will look to continue rolling when he returns to action in late November.
