Matthews (shoulder) was back on the ice ahead of Monday's practice, shooting pucks while being observed by team trainers and Toronto's assistant athletic therapist, Kristen Shilton of TSN.ca reports.

EDGE Analysis

It's been a little over a week since news broke that Matthews would miss at least four weeks total with a shoulder injury that he sustained in an Oct. 27 contest against the Jets, when defenseman Jacob Trouba checked him hard into the boards. As far as we know, he's still on track for a late November return, but Matthews being able to shoot so early in his recovery is obviously a good sign.

Matthews (shoulder) will not require surgery to repair his injured left shoulder, Kristen Shilton of TSN.ca reports.

EDGE Analysis

Perhaps the only silverlining for fans and fantasy owners is the fact that Matthews didn't re-injure the same shoulder that cost him a month of the 2017-18 campaign. The world-class center was off to a strong start to the season, as he racked up 10 goals and six helpers in 11 games. The 21-year-old will look to continue rolling when he returns to action in late November.

Matthews (shoulder) was placed on injured reserve Monday and will miss a minimum of four weeks.

EDGE Analysis

Matthews, in 11 games this season, had tallied 16 points but was without one in his last four. His injury is certainly a big blow to Toronto's offensive arsenal, however, the signing of John Tavares this past offseason was made for, among other reasons, moments like this. With Matthews on the shelf, Tavares seems like the logical choice to absorb most of his minutes and on-ice responsibilities. Meanwhile, the Maple Leafs must continue trying to coax William Nylander back to Toronto as they prepare for life without Matthews for the next four weeks (and possibly longer).

Matthews will have his injured shoulder examined Monday and will not play Monday night's against the Flames, Kristen Shilton of TSN reports.

EDGE Analysis

Matthews appeared to absorb the brunt of the collision with his left shoulder, Mike Zeisberger of NHL.com reports.

Matthews is enduring a three-game pointless streak.

EDGE Analysis

After firing out of the gate with 10 goals and 16 points over the first seven games, Matthews has cooled off in the last three outings despite shooting 13 pucks on net. The Maple Leafs' power play remains one of the most dynamic in the league, so it won't be long before Matthews gets back on track. His next chance will be Saturday versus the Jets.

Matthews scored two power-play goals Thursday in a 5-3 win over the Red Wings.

EDGE Analysis

Matthews now leads the NHL with nine following his fourth multi-goal game of the season. Yes, there is a Rocket Richard trophy in his future and maybe even in 2018-19. You know what to do.

Matthews scored two goals -- one on the power play -- in Tuesday's 7-4 win over the Stars.

EDGE Analysis

Matthews first goal shimmered a bit of luck as he dished a cross-ice pass that deflected off a defender's skate and into the back of the net. His next was a beauty, as he received a pass from Kasperi Kapanen and fired a one-timer off his back foot and over Ben Bishop's left shoulder. It's been an explosive start for Matthews, who now has seven goals and three assists through four games.

Matthews put up four points -- two goals and two assists -- in Sunday's 7-6 overtime win over Chicago.

EDGE Analysis
