Matthews (wrist) participated in contact drills for the first time since training camp started Sunday, David Alter of The Hockey News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Matthews may not suit up for any of the Maple Leafs' remaining three preseason games, but the 24-year-old pivot appears to be on track to be ready for Toronto's Opening Night matchup versus Montreal on Oct. 13. Matthews led the NHL with 41 goals in just 52 contests last season and should be one of the first forwards off the board in all fantasy formats.
