Toronto Maple Leafs captain Auston Matthews remains out of the lineup
There has been a ton of debate surrounding Matthews and whether or not he should be playing right now.
While the captain wants to be out there, it has been made clear that the Toronto Maple Leafs would prefer him to just take the time off and get himself right.
As for Paul Bissonnette of Spittin' Chiclets, he is warning Matthews to stay home for the time being.
In fact, Bissonnette believes the captain should avoid the 4 Nations Face-Off as it would be truly embarrassing for him.
Team Canada and Team USA are easily the most hyped-up teams going into this tournament, and Auston Matthews was supposed to be a factor.
However, with his injury, many have argued that the tournament is not important enough for Matthews to actually play.
That would certainly be the best course of action, but it would be difficult to convince the captain of this.
Hopefully, someone gets through to him, and Matthews can be ready to go by the time the playoffs come around.
