Maple Leafs star Auston Matthews (MCL) will miss rest of season

Toronto Maple Leafs star Auston Matthews tore the medial collateral ligament in his left knee and will be sidelined for the rest of the season, the team said Friday.

The Maple Leafs said Matthews sustained a Grade 3 tear in the knee and also sustained a bruised quadriceps during the second period of a game against the Anaheim Ducks.

Matthews was hurt when he took a knee-on-knee hit from Anaheim defender Radko Gudas. He remained on the ice in pain as team trainers came to help.
