Matthias registered a goal, an assist and a plus-2 rating in Tuesday's 4-3 loss to the Predators.
EDGE Analysis
Matthias has carved out a nice role on the top six since coming over from Toronto, scoring five goals and adding five helpers in 18 outings. This was the 28-year-old's best rating as a member of the Avalanche, but he's still minus-17 on the year.

Matthias sported a minus-2 rating in Sunday's loss to the Blues.
EDGE Analysis
Matthias has entered a bit of a slump as the season winds down, as Sunday was the fifth time in the last six games he's been held off the scoresheet. The 28-year-old has still seen better production overall with his new club though, following a midseason trade from the Maple Leafs, so he could break out of it in the final few tilts.

Matthias found twine in 14:23 of ice time against the Sharks in a 4-3 shootout win Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Matthias was shipped out by Toronto on Sunday, but the former second-round pick wasted no time with his new team, notching goal number seven on the year. This is exactly what Colorado was hoping for in the trade, a comfortable 28-year-old center that can produce as a bottom-six forward. Keep an eye on Matthias as he eases into his new role with the Avalanche.

Matthias was moved out of Toronto in exchange for Colin Smith and Colorado's fourth-round pick in the 2016 draft on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Matthias was a disappointment for the Leafs this season, despite scoring in his return to the lineup Saturday after battling a neck injury. Matthias scored a career-high 18 goals with Vancouver last season, but has found the net on just six occasions in 2015-16. The Avs currently sit in a playoff position and will be looking to Matthias to provide some effective bottom-six forward play down the stretch.

Matthias (neck) will return to action Saturday against the Flyers, Paul Hendrick of Leafs TV reports.
EDGE Analysis
Fantasy owners likely don't need to concern themselves with Matthias' availability, as the big-bodied forward has only managed to tally 16 points (five goals, 11 assists) in 50 games this season. The former second-round pick is expected to slot back into the lineup as a bottom-six forward Saturday against Philadelphia, skating alongside Nick Spaling and Daniel Winnik on Toronto's third line.

Matthias will miss the team's upcoming road trip due to whiplash likely from a hit sustained in Saturday's game against the Senators, Rob Longley of the Toronto Sun reports.
EDGE Analysis
Matthias logged just 8:38 of ice time in Saturday's contest, which could be a result of the injury. He, along with two other Leafs forwards, will stay behind as the team heads out west, prompting the recall of three other forwards to provide some depth on the road trip. Matthias' first chance to rejoin the lineup will likely come next Monday when the team returns home to face the Blackhawks, but there's no guarantee he'll be ready then either.

Matthias scored his fourth goal of the season in Saturday's loss to Boston. He now has a point in each of his last two games.
EDGE Analysis
His move to the first line may actually be starting to yield fruit. Matthias is getting an extended audition on the first line in Toronto and may be worth pulling off the wire.

Matthias will play left wing on the top line for the near future, Jonas Siegel of TSN reports.
EDGE Analysis
After James van Riemsdyk was ruled out for six-to-eight weeks with a broken foot, head coach Mike Babcock has decided on Matthias filling JVR's spot alongside Tyler Bozak and P.A. Parenteau. Matthias is a big body, skates well, and is coming off of a career year in which he scored 18 goals, despite his struggles this year. It's worth taking a flyer on Matthias while he resides on Toronto's' top line.

Matthias scored a garbage-time goal, added an assist and went plus-2 in a 6-3 loss to the Isles on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
As usual, Matthias has been generally useless in fantasy this season, as it took him until the 34th game of the year to push his way into double-digit points. With just three goals, he's well short of being on pace to match last year's career-high 18, and it looks like this is going to be just another slow season, leaving him off the fantasy radar in the vast majority of formats.
