Maple Leafs star Auston Matthews leaves after knee-on-knee hit from Ducks' Radko Gudas
- On Thursday night in Toronto, Auston Matthews, 28, Toronto Maple Leafs captain, left after a knee-on-knee collision with Radko Gudas, 35, Anaheim Ducks defenceman, and the Leafs announced he would not return.
- Gudas stuck his left leg at high speed after Matthews was alone in the slot in the second period, shortly after the player's goal.
- After on-ice officials reviewed, Gudas was assessed a five-minute major and a 10-minute game misconduct, ending his night, and has a history of high-profile, physical incidents.
- Matthews was helped off and taken to the dressing room after clutching his left leg with what might be a serious left-knee injury, despite 27 goals and 26 assists in 60 games this season.
- Having returned from the Winter Olympics as U.S. team captain, Matthews had just snapped a 12-game goal slump earlier in the period.
