Maple Leafs head coach Craig Berube issued an update on Auston Matthews, but did not deliver any exciting news regarding a potential return. The Toronto Maple Leafs have been without Auston Matthews over the last week or so and it sounds like it might stretch a little further based on the recent comments coming from head coach Craig Berube.

Upper-body injury bothers Auston Matthews once again, and the Maple Leafs superstar will miss the next two games.

Matthews's outlook has been up in the air since he re-aggravated an upper-body injury during a 6-3 victory over the Buffalo Sabres on Dec. 20. Head coach Craig Berube later revealed that the 27-year-old sharpshooter would be sidelined until after the holidays, leaving optimists hoping for a return as early as Friday.
