Matthias (undisclosed) was absent from Wednesday's practice, Jon Abbott of TSN 1040 reports. It's not clear if Matthias is dealing with any sort of injury or if his absence from Wednesday's practice qualifies as more of a maintenance day. His status should be clarified ahead of Thursday's game against the Coyotes. Regardless, Matthias' recent offensive drought (one point in 11 games) makes him an uninspiring lineup activation in the season's finale week.
