Matthews, who has missed five straight games with an upper-body injury, was placed on injured reserve earlier this week. This marks a significant setback for the team as they strive for continuity in their lineup. The captain's absence can surely be felt not only in the team's performance but also in the locker room, as he has been a central figure leading by example both on and off the ice.
Matthews expressed his frustration over being sidelined but is optimistic about his recovery. He stated, "It’s definitely tough to not be out there helping my teammates. But I’m feeling progress every day, and I’m eager to get back on the ice with them when I’m ready." His determination indicates that he's focusing on his rehabilitation while remaining committed to the team.
