TORONTO — Toronto Maple Leafs captain Auston Matthews skated with his teammates, but will not play Thursday against the New York Islanders.
Matthews, who has missed five straight games with an upper-body injury, was placed on injured reserve earlier this week.
He says it’s frustrating to be sidelined, but he feels he’s progressing towards a return to action.
Maple Leafs head coach Craig Berube says there’s no timeline for the captain’s return to the lineup.
