After the Toronto Maple Leafs lost to the Boston Bruins 3-1 in Game 4, there was a lot of buzz during the post-game interviews. Sheldon Keefe cleared up why Auston Matthews was absent in the third period, saying it was due to what's believed to be an illness. TNT added it was food poisoning, making him questionable for Toronto's win or go home Game 5 in Boston on Tuesday.
Now, we don't know the details of his illness or how long he's been dealing with it. But based on what Keefe said, it seems like Matthews might have been battling this for a while, and it's been getting more challenging for him to push through.
