Auston Matthews was a no-show at Toronto Maple Leafs practice today after missing the third period of game four with a reported illness.

The franchise star, who will likely get Hart trophy consideration this season as well as having won the Rocket Richard trophy with 69 goals has reportedly been suffering from a stomach illness for a while, which, per head coach Sheldon Keefe, is continuing to ail him.

This has led him now to missing practice today, which is worrying considering the Toronto Maple Leafs are facing elimination to the Boston Bruins tomorrow, ending their playoff hopes prematurely.

We will see whether Auston Matthews will be able to play tomorrow - he is a difference maker for the Toronto Maple Leafs, who need all hands on deck to take down their red hot rival Boston Bruins.
