Frank Seravalli reveals Auston Matthews' likely return date
Toronto Maple Leafs captain Auston Matthews has been out for a while with an upper-body injury that has proven to be a bit of an anomaly.
At this stage, no one actually knows what is wrong with him and the fans are looking for some answers.
He has been out for three weeks at this point, and has missed a total of seven games.
However, during that stretch, the Maple Leafs have continued to play great hockey and boast a record of 12-6-2 while winning six of their last seven.
This past week, Auston Matthews has been in Munich, Germany, where he is getting some treatment on his injury.
Overall, this treatment has been going well, and now, reporter Frank Seravalli has the scoop on when Matthews will be able to come back.

Matthews will not be in the lineup on Sunday, however, it is believed that he will be officially back as of next Wednesday. That means in five days, he will be ready to go.

This will be music to the ears of Maple Leafs fans everywhere. It essentially means that Matthews is going to be his usual self and his production could reflect that.
