Leafs’ Auston Matthews says he’s feeling better, but no timetable for return
TORONTO — Maple Leafs centre Auston Matthews is inching closer to a return to the Toronto lineup. When that will be remains anyone’s guess.
The 20-year-old took part in his second straight full practice Tuesday, but continued to wear a red non-contact jersey.
Matthews has been on the shelf since injuring his shoulder after getting sandwiched between two Islanders late in Toronto’s 4-3 shootout victory over New York at Air Canada Centre on Feb. 22.
Matthews, who had been skating on his own before briefly joining teammates for a couple of on-ice sessions last week, said he doesn’t have a timeline for a return.
