An illness forced Auston Matthews to miss the end of Toronto's 3-1 Game 4 loss to Boston. Matthews' illness is described as 'not run-of-the-mill' and worsens whenever he 'asserts himself' on the ice.
Leafs head coach Sheldon Keefe stated that Matthews will travel with the team to Boston, and Toronto is 'hopeful' he will play in Game 5. Keefe did not definitively confirm Matthews' status for the crucial matchup.
