Auston Matthew's season may be done after concerning health update

In game 4 of the heated series between the Bruins and Maple Leafs, Auston Matthews left the game early with some sort of ‘illness'.

Immediately following the game, Maple Leafs head coach Sheldon Keefe provided an update on why Matthews left early.





When you consider all of the health issues that NHL players have battled through during the playoffs, it seemed rather odd to see a player leave for illness, however it seems to be more serious than an upset stomach, based on a statement from Sheldon Keefe on Sunday afternoon.





As it currently stands, the Leafs are down 3-1 and likely will be eliminated soon, so it's reasonable to assume that Matthews could be shut down for the rest of the season.

Matthews certainly hasn't looked like his regular season self in the playoffs, and this could be the explanation as to why.

More to come.
