Published

TORONTO (AP) — Toronto Maple Leafs center Auston Matthews left Saturday night against the Winnipeg Jets with a left shoulder injury.

Matthews appeared to injure his left shoulder after absorbing a hit from defenseman Jacob Trouba early in the second period.

The 21-year-old Matthews cut to the front of the net with the puck and, as he attempted to shoot on goalie Connor Hellebuyck, Trouba went shoulder-to-shoulder with Matthews.

Matthews leads the Leafs with 10 goals and 16 points.
