Jack Eichel gets honest about Auston Matthews' mysterious treatment plan
Toronto Maple Leafs captain Auston Matthews has been dealing with a weird injury that fans have been quite concerned about.

Thankfully, Matthews was back on the ice today and he will likely return to the Leafs lineup by Wednesday.

Eichel has massive respect for Matthews and understands he has to do whatever he can to get himself in a good head space.
Jack Eichel on Auston Matthews
"I think teams are communicating well with players and giving them the chance to see the people they want to see and I think that's been a big part of it as well. I think it goes both ways. It's good that he's been able to get the treatment that he needs, or wants. Hopefully, he can get healthy.
"I had a similar situation here years ago with my neck surgery. The [Vegas] organization was super supportive of what I wanted to do, so I give him a ton of credit on that."
At this stage, it remains to be seen how Matthews will play upon his return.
However, fans are feeling pretty good about it as the team is confident that this trip to Munich has gotten him into a good place.
Only time will tell what is next for the Maple Leafs captain.
