Matthews Hit In The Groin For The Second Game In A Row
Maple Leafs' Auston Matthews is going through a tough week, as the star forward endured two painful groin hits in back-to-back games.
In the first incident, Matthews was injured on Thursday in Florida when Carter Verhaeghe's attempted dump-in struck him in a sensitive spot.
