Toronto Maple Leafs forward Auston Matthews was held out of Sunday night’s game against the Edmonton Oilers with an upper-body injury.

Matthews was originally listed by Leafs coach Mike Babcock as a game-time decision, saying at the morning skate that the 20-year-old forward is: “One of those guys with bumps and bruises.”

Matthews took an accidental hit to the head from teammate Morgan Rielly with 2:50 remaining in the third period of a 4-3 win against the Pittsburgh Penguins on Saturday.

He stayed on the bench and played two more shifts prior to the end of the game.
