The 2020 NHL All-Star Game has lost one of its shiniest stars.
Toronto Maple Leafs center Auston Matthews is dealing with "an ongoing wrist condition" that requires acute treatment and will prevent him from "actively participating in any on-ice events" at NHL All-Star Weekend, the team announced Wednesday.
Matthews will still attend the All-Star festivities Friday and Saturday at the Enterprise Center in St. Louis.
Per Chris Johnston of NHL Network and Sportsnet, Matthews—who is currently tied for second in the league with 34 goals—will be replaced by Ottawa Senators winger Brady Tkachuk on the Atlantic Division roster.
