Toronto Maple Leafs captain Auston Matthews publicly addressed his team's obvious slump following the team's 3rd consecutive loss. The Toronto Maple Leafs are now on their longest losing streak of the season after falling 4-1 at home to the Dallas Stars.

Toronto Maple Leafs head coach Craig Berube provided an optimistic update on Auston Matthews’ recovery from an upper-body injury, though he confirmed the star center will not play in the New York's Eve game against the New York Islanders.

As captain, Matthews hopes to emulate Thornton's leadership qualities, led by his focus on inclusivity and bringing everyone together.

Toronto Maple Leafs captain Auston Matthews told reporters that he will return from an upper-body injury in Saturday night's game against the visiting Boston Bruins.

Auston Matthews made a Jumbo pick for his mentor. The Maple Leafs captain brought former teammate Joe Thornton along on the team’s Mentors Trip this week. Thornton and Matthews were teammates with the Maple Leafs during the 2020-21 season.

Toronto Maple Leafs captain Auston Matthews feels that his team is overcomplicating things on the power play and they need to get back to basics. In Saturday’s shutout loss to the Vancouver Canucks, the Leafs got three power-play chances on the night and combined to record two shots (both of which were on the first attempt).

The captain of the Toronto Maple Leafs is nearing playing for the United States at upcoming 4 Nations Face-Off.
