Toronto Maple Leafs captain Auston Matthews publicly addressed his team's obvious slump following the team's 3rd consecutive loss. The Toronto Maple Leafs are now on their longest losing streak of the season after falling 4-1 at home to the Dallas Stars.

As captain, Matthews hopes to emulate Thornton's leadership qualities, led by his focus on inclusivity and bringing everyone together.

Toronto Maple Leafs captain Auston Matthews feels that his team is overcomplicating things on the power play and they need to get back to basics. In Saturday’s shutout loss to the Vancouver Canucks, the Leafs got three power-play chances on the night and combined to record two shots (both of which were on the first attempt).

Returning from his second absence this season due to an upper-body injury, Matthews logged a season-low 17:32. The back-and-forth nature of the game saw Matthews play more in the third period, particularly as Toronto was defending the 5-on-6 situation as Boston looked for a tying goal.

Toronto Maple Leafs captain Auston Matthews opened up about the ongoing upper-body injury that has plagued him throughout the season, admitting uncertainty about his ability to recover fully from it.

The captain of the Toronto Maple Leafs is nearing playing for the United States at upcoming 4 Nations Face-Off.

Toronto Maple Leafs general manager Brad Treliving believes Auston Matthews will be more than ready for the upcoming 4 Nations Face-Off after returning to the lineup in January.
