The full extent of Auston Matthews' injury is still unclear.
While Matthews was initially reported to be out "weeks" with a back injury, agent Pat Brisson appears to be tapping the brakes, pending further tests.
Auston Mathews agent, Pat Brisson says..."minor back injury. Auston will be reevaluated tomorrow and we should have a better update."

The 18-year-old, who's expected to be selected first overall in the 2016 NHL Draft, scored a team-high 10 goals in his first 14 games for the Swiss League's Zurich Lions.
The severity of the injury could hinder Matthews from playing in the Deutschland Cup in early November.
