Matthews returned to Saturday's game against Vancouver six minutes into the second period. He took a slap shot off the inside of his right knee late in the first period that sent him to the dressing room.

Matthews left Saturday's game against the Canucks late in the first after taking a slap shot off the inside of his right knee.
EDGE Analysis
Noah Juulsen wound up at the top of the right circle and Matthews turned into the path of the puck. It hit him right where he tapes his shin pads. He was unable to stand and the play was blown dead, but eventually, he was able to get off the ice without the help of the trainer.

Matthews scored a pair of goals on five shots in Sunday's 5-1 win over the Kraken.
EDGE Analysis
Matthews had been in a three-game funk, his longest healthy drought of the season. The 25-year-old chased Philipp Grubauer with a goal in the second period and added another against Martin Jones in the third. Matthews is up to 28 goals, 59 points, 218 shots on net, 75 blocked shots, 65 hits and a plus-24 rating through 53 contests this season. The success of the John Tavares-Ryan O'Reilly-William Nylander line has taken some of the pressure off of Matthews to be the leading force in Toronto's offense, though games like Sunday prove he can do it himself as well.
