It's officially been over a week since Toronto Maple Leafs captain Auston Matthews last played a game. The veteran sniper was placed on the injured reserve with an upper-body injury last week and his outlook has been up in the air since then.

When Craig Berube wants to truly feel at peace, he goes back to a place where he became the person he is today.

Toronto Maple Leafs coach Craig Berube says captain Auston Matthews' upper-body injury is not "where it needs to get to" and he remains day-to-day as the team takes a cautious approach to his return.

Following Berube's reveal, NHL insider Chris Johnston reported that the Maple Leafs added Matthews to the injured reserve. The move is retroactive to Sunday, and since IR players must miss at least seven games of action, he won't be able to face the Montreal Canadiens on Saturday, either.

Linus Ullmark got his first shutout as a Senator but the story of the night was Ottawa putting together its most complete 60 minute effort in a long time.
