Auston Matthews Receives Treatment in Germany

Auston Matthews, captain of the Toronto Maple Leafs, is currently in Munich, Germany, receiving treatment for an undisclosed upper-body injury that has sidelined him for six games. General Manager Brad Treliving mentioned that Matthews is visiting a trusted doctor and is accompanied by a Leafs team physician, emphasizing that no surgery is planned or necessary. The team's schedule, which includes a light week of games, provided an opportunity for Matthews to focus on his recovery without rushing back. While the injury details remain private, Treliving expressed optimism that Matthews could resume skating soon and possibly return to the lineup during the Maple Leafs’ upcoming Florida road trip. Despite Matthews' absence, the team has performed well, winning five of their last six games. He has recorded 11 points in the 13 games he played this season before the injury.
