Toronto Maple Leafs captain Auston Matthews has a torn medial collateral ligament in his left knee and will miss the rest of the NHL season. The team provided an injury update on Matthews a little under 24 hours since he was knocked out of a game against Anaheim on a knee-on-knee hit from Radko Gudas. The Leafs said Matthews has a Grade 3 MCL tear and a bruised quadriceps muscle and would be evaluated again in two weeks. Gudas was suspended for five games after a hearing with the league's Department of Player Safety.
