TSN: Darren Dreger on Maple Leafs forward Auston Matthews and his wrist injury. He’s expected to continue to play through it.
“The good news is, it’s not structural. It’s more soreness. It’s believed to be a minor issue, something that he’s been dealing with and that he recently aggravated. You can see that the Toronto Maple Leafs made adjustments to allow Auston Matthews to avoid the one-timer in the series vs. the Calgary Flames. They made adjustments to their power-play structure.”

Samantha Pell: Washington Capitals forward Alex Ovechkin will be a game-time decision today. He had Friday off for maintenance.
