BOSTON -- Toronto Maple Leafs forward Auston Matthews left his team's 5-3 loss to the Boston Bruins at TD Garden Tuesday night with a lower-body injury.
Matthews, who did not play in the third period, took a hit into the sideboards from behind by Bruins defenseman Nikita Zadorov midway through the second period. Though Zadorov took a roughing call in the third period, he was not penalized for the hit on Matthews.
"I think it's a penalty, personally," Toronto coach Craig BerubeBut I'm not the referee. I don't like it.
