Matthews is contending with an upper-body issue, but it's not considered serious, Mark Masters of TSN reports Tuesday.
It's unclear if Matthews picked up the injury in Sunday's 6-5 overtime preseason loss to the Senators. The 27-year-old scored a goal and saw 20:26 of ice time in that contest. The superstar center's progress will be something to monitor in the coming days. Matthews potted 69 goals and 107 points in 81 regular-season outings with Toronto in 2023-24.
