Since the NHL does not impose any rules regarding injury disclosure, fans don't know why the star player of the Maple Leafs, who scored 69 goals this season, is unable to help his team in this crucial game.
Auston Matthews was already a highly doubtful case for this match. However, unlike other professional sports leagues such as the NFL and NBA, the NHL has no regulations regarding the accuracy of injury-related absences.
BPM Sports morning host, Max Lalonde, raises a very interesting point. Matthews will be seen as a "quitter" among fans throughout the NHL.
