Matthews practices but no return date set
Dave McCarthy of NHL.com: Toronto Maple Leafs forward Auston Matthews practiced with a no-contact jersey yesterday. It was his first full practice since injuring his shoulder.
“I don’t know, honestly. Kind of just taking it day by day,” Matthews said. “It feels a lot better. I think it’s progressed quite well. It’s still not all there but hopefully it continues to progress, and I can get out there as soon as possible.”
Head coach Mike Babcock on when Matthews could return.
“He’s got to work and get back in shape,” Babcock said. “He’s been able to skate the whole time, but until he’s every day in here, I don’t know when he’s returning.”
