Maple Leafs’ Auston Matthews exits Ducks clash early with knee injury
Auston Matthews put an end to one troubling situation in Thursday night’s home matchup versus the Anaheim Ducks, but he left the ice with another one. After scoring a goal for the first time in 12 games, the 2021-22 Hart Memorial Trophy winner suffered a knee injury in the second period and exited the game in visible pain. He was ruled out for the rest of the night, per Chris Johnston of The Athletic.
Matthews incurred knee-on-knee contact after Ducks defenseman Radko Gudas skated into him. The official assessed the 35-year-old Czech a five-minute major penalty, but the damage was done. The Maple Leafs cornerstone struggled to put weight on his left leg as he headed toward the locker room.
