Matthias was a healthy scratch for Sunday's 4-0 victory over St. Louis.

EDGE Analysis

This was the seventh straight game Matthias has been scratched, and he's only posted two assists in 18 games this season. This certainly isn't new territory for the 29-year-old as he only played in 45 games in 2016-17, and has struggled to find a consistent role throughout his time in Winnipeg. Matthias has been known for his size, intensity, and face-off skills throughout his career, but it's unlikely the Ontario native sees an increase in ice time unless injuries arise or head coach Paul Maurice wants to utilize physical presence.
