According to Rosehill, Matthews may have sustained a hard crash into the boards during a game, leading to symptoms that worsened over time, prompting the team to shut him down.
A video circulating online shows the moment of the alleged incident, where Matthews collides with William Nylander and hits the back of his head on the boards.
This incident occurred during a game that held little significance for the Leafs, as they were already guaranteed the third seed in the Atlantic Division.
Now, with their season on the line, Matthews' absence could greatly impact the team's chances as the Maple Leafs prepare to take on the Bruins on home ice.
