Matthews will have a hearing with the Department of Player Safety on Monday for cross-checking the Sabres' Rasmus Dahlin.

EDGE Analysis

At this point, fantasy players should be bracing for Matthews to miss at least one game, though the center has no disciplinary history, which could see him escape with a fine. The world-class center is currently riding a five-game goal streak, during which he has racked up eight goals and one helper. If Matthews does miss some time, John Tavares would be a near-lock to replace him on the first line while Jason Spezza or Ondrej Kase could get bumped up to the No. 1 power-play unit.
