In Game 4 of their Stanley Cup playoff series against the Boston Bruins, the Maple Leafs faced a setback when star forward
Auston Matthews was sidelined by the team's medical staff.
Reports suggest Matthews may be battling a severe illness, possibly food poisoning, forcing him out of the game.
Now, all eyes are on Matthews' health for Game 5, where the Maple Leafs are facing elimination with the Bruins leading the series 3-1.
An initial update raises concerns as Matthews was absent from the team's morning skate on Monday. While it's worrisome, it's premature to jump to conclusions.
The Maple Leafs may prioritize his health over rushing him back onto the ice, opting for an extra day of rest.
In practice on Monday,
Max Domi took over centering duties for the Matthews line, hinting at a potential lineup adjustment for Game 5 if Matthews remains sidelined.
