Matthews Reveals Injury Hampered His Season as Maple Leafs Captain

Auston Matthews, the captain of the Toronto Maple Leafs, played the past season with a secret injury.

He got hurt before the season even started.

Even though he tried different treatments, like resting and getting help in Germany, the injury kept bothering him.

This affected his ability to score, as his shot wasn't as accurate as usual.

Being captain means you have to lead the team, which is even harder when you're not feeling your best.

Despite all this, Matthews kept playing.
