Incident causing Auston Matthews potential injury revealed

Auston Matthews will potentially miss yet another playoff game on Thursday night, and now the incident that caused his injury may have been revealed.

The illness and injury mystery surrounding Auston Matthews has been a major talking point for days now, and now we may be learning more and more by the day. According to TSN's Chris Johnston, there's an injury involved with Matthews' absence, and Jay Rosehill appears to have speculated the same on social media;



After seeing this, one fan tracked down footage of game 80 against the Detroit Red Wings, posting this video that would seemingly add up to Rosehill's theory, as Matthews took a hard crash into the boards after colliding with teammate William Nylander.


At this point, we may not be getting any official confirmation from the Maple Leafs, so the speculation is expected to continue, and with the Leafs facing elimination once more on Thursday, missing Matthews could cost them the remainder of their season.
