The Toronto Maple Leafs managed to stay in the playoffs by winning a tense game against the Boston Bruins.

Goalie Joseph Woll and player Matthew Knies were big heroes, securing an overtime win and a Game 6 in Toronto.

But things aren't all rosy for the Leafs. They're still behind in the series and might have to play without their top player, Auston Matthews, for another game.

He got injured in Game 4 and missed Game 5. Fans are eager for news about whether he'll be back for Game 6.


Matthews practiced today with some coaches, but he didn't say much about how he's feeling. Coach Sheldon Keefe also didn't give many details about Matthews' situation.

It's frustrating for fans and reporters not to know what's going on with Matthews, but it's common for teams to keep injury news quiet during the playoffs.

Matthews was seen skating from the public walkway, but gone by the time the rink was open to media.


Keefe is more focused on winning Game 6 than where they play it. For him, the most important thing is keeping their playoff hopes alive.

As the game approaches, everyone will be watching to see if Matthews can play and if the Leafs can pull off another win.
