Matthews is dealing with soreness and will be a game-time decision for Monday's contest with Vegas, Chris Johnston of Sportsnet reports.
EDGE Analysis
The American superstar took the ice for Monday's morning skate, but lasted for all of seven minutes before making an early exit. Matthews has already racked up 10 goals and 18 points in 15 games this season, so if he's unable to go, his loss will be felt by the Leafs and fantasy owners alike. Whether or not Matthews is able to participate in the team's pre-game skate will be a good indicator of his status for the matchup with the Golden Knights.

Matthews had a goal, an assist and six shots in Thursday's 5-3 loss to the Kings.
EDGE Analysis
Matthews turned the tide with his 10th goal of the season late in the second after his team fell behind 5-0, but it was too little too late at that point. The sophomore sensation was immune to the defensive struggles around him, finishing with a plus-2 rating to raise his season mark to a league-leading plus-14.

Matthews scored a goal and added an assist in Thursday's 6-3 loss to Carolina.
EDGE Analysis
Once again, his shot found a slice of net no bigger than the puck itself -- man, can Matthews snipe. He has eight goals and 14 points in just 10 games, which is a 110-plus point pace. Matthews is drawing comparisons to the great Mario Lemieux because of his size, skill and net drive. We find it hard to disagree.

Matthews scored a goal and added an assist on the power play Saturday in a 6-3 loss to the Senators.
EDGE Analysis
Matthews has only been held off the scoresheet once in eight games; he has 12 points, including seven goals, in that span. His wrist shot is among the best in the league and he plays a power game not unlike the Super Mario Lemieux. Matthews is a beast in every format.

Matthews scored two goals, including the winner, in Saturday's 4-3 overtime victory over Montreal.
EDGE Analysis
Matthews got the winner off in a fraction of a second and Carey Price was already on the way down as the puck ripped over his shoulder. Matthews is riding a five-game point streak (five goals, three assists) and is quickly showing the league that he is the kind of leader who can carry a squad, even at 20.

Matthews added a goal to his total in the third period of a 6-3 Wednesday loss at home to New Jersey.
EDGE Analysis
Matthews and his teammates couldn't get past Cory Schneider until it was too late to matter on the scoreboard. However, it wasn't too late to matter to fantasy owners. He scored his third of the season and remains a top option in all formats.

EDGE Analysis
Matthews set up both William Nylander and Patrick Marleau as coach Mike Babcock shuffled lines around to get guys ice time -- the Buds were on the penalty kill eight times. Matthews will continue to see regular time Nylander and should continue to grow his already impressive game.
