TORONTO -- Auston Matthews skated prior to Toronto Maple Leafs practice on Saturday and did not rule out returning next week from an upper-body injury. The center, who has missed the past seven games, recently returned from a five-day trip to Germany for consultation on his injury.

Fraser Minten scored his first NHL goal as the injury-ravaged Toronto Maple Leafs blanked the Vegas Golden Knights 3-0 on Wednesday night. William Nylander scored his 13th of the season at 3:01 of the third on the power play.

The Sens were defeated 3-2 by the Vegas Golden Knights, marking their fourth straight loss at home and their fourth consecutive loss overall. The Sens made some big mistakes, which are tough to survive when scoring is suddenly hard to come by.
