Auston Matthews of the Maple Leafs is having a tough week, as the star forward took a solid shot to the groin for the second time in as many games.

First, Matthews was hurt on Thursday in Florida when an attempted dump in from Carter Verhaeghe caught him in the ‘'nether regions'', for lack of a better term.
