Major Update Indicates That Auston Matthews Was Injured During The Playoffs

Typically a powerhouse on the ice, he was virtually silent throughout the series against Florida, contributing a mere two points and failing to find the back of the net. Not quite the performance you'd anticipate from a player of his stature.

But could there be more to the story?

In the post-game handshake line, Matthews was spotted sporting a brace on his shooting wrist.

Could an undisclosed injury have hampered his performance?

If his shooting wrist was indeed compromised, it would certainly explain a dip in Matthews' shot power and accuracy. Management might excuse his bad performance if this were the case.
