This year, Auston Matthews hasn't been performing poorly, but he has been experiencing some setbacks. In a recent interview with Jonas Siegel from The Athletic, Matthews opened up about his injury, recovery, and his positive outlook for the future.
Given Matthews' playing style, which relies on quick and precise shots, being unable to perform at his desired level was a hindrance. However, he is currently on the mend and feeling better, which is a relief.
Matthews has recently scored his 31st goal of the season, indicating that he is regaining his form. This is excellent news, especially since he is expected to be fully recovered and ready to compete in the playoffs.
