At a press conference in Toronto in the last few seconds, forward Auston Matthews revealed the real reason for his absence from two games.

In front of Toronto journalists, he confessed that the truth is he was "very sick" after game two of the series against the Boston Bruins, and then, he took a weird hit while playing sick during game four which caused him to miss games five and six.

Auston Matthews: «I got really sick before Game 2. Was trying to recover going into Game 3. In Game 4, I took a weird hit and couldn't go any longer. That is as detailed as I am going to get into it. It was tough. Really frustrating. Sucks. It was killing me to watch.»

"Auston Matthews reveals that, while suffering from an illness, he 'took a strange hit' which forced him to leave game 4 and cost him games 5 and 6."
