with the NHL today, March 14th. Austin Matthews is out for the rest of the season with a severe grade 3 tier to his medial collateral ligament and a bad quad bruise. It happened after a hard knee-on knee collision with Radco-Gudas during a game. This caps a tough year for the Toronto Maple Leaf star, who managed just 27 goals in 60 games. That's his career low, along with the shooting percentage under 12% and fewer shots per game than usual. These fans and fantasy players are reeling, especially with the team already down key centers. Toronto has dropped 8 of their last 9 games and now faces a brutal stretch against Buffalo, Minnesota, and the Islanders over the next 4. Knights. The injury leaves a huge gap of front, so John Tavare's might shift back to the top center spot alongside William Nylander. Tavare's has been steady with 54 points in 66 games and stays healthy. Safety managers should hit the waiver wire fast, eyeing guys like Pavel Zasha of Boston

or Alexis LaFernier of the Rangers who are heating up. With playoff starting soon, these moves could make or break your squad. D&N is brought to you by our sponsor link in the description. What is cooler than cool? A pillow that plays your sound. S-O-L-I-SOLY-PILLOW.com
