After leaving game 4 following the second period due to an illness, Auston Matthews missed all of games 5 and 6. Varying reports emerged, and ultimately the Toronto Maple Leafs chose to keep it all quiet. He appeared at regular practice today, however:
It appears tonight they will play their hand and dress Auston Matthews, marking the first time this post-season the entire core four will have played together, as William Nylander was injured for the first three games. This is what broadcaster and hockey personality Paul Bissonnette suggests:
This is going to be a curse-breaking night for one team; the Toronto Maple Leafs could break their streak of six consecutive game-7 losses, or the Boston Bruins could fend off being the first team in NHL history to be eliminated after fumbling a 3-1 lead consecutively.
So - who do you think will seal their ticket to play the Florida Panthers in round 2 tonight?
