Toronto Maple Leafs DFS SPIN
Auston Matthews (knee) skated before practice Thursday in a non-contact jersey, Lance Hornby of The Toronto Sun reports. Matthews suffered a sprained knee two weeks ago and was expected to be out a minimum of three weeks at that time. The superstar center has 25 goals and 53 points with 200 shots on goal in 47 games this season.
Columbus Blue Jackets DFS SPIN
Gustav Nyquist is expected to miss the rest of the season with a shoulder injury. The good news is Nyquist’s injury won’t require surgery, making it likely he’ll be fully recovered in time for training camp in September. The 33-year-old winger will finish the campaign having picked up 10 goals and 22 points while averaging 17:48 of ice time through 48 contests.
