Lightning, Toronto Maple Leafs
TORONTO -- Auston Matthews scored for the fourth straight game and had an assist for the Toronto Maple Leafs in a 5-3 win against the Tampa Bay Lightning at Scotiabank Arena on Monday. The goal was Matthews’ eighth in nine games since his return after missing the previous six because of an upper-body injury.

Toronto Maple Leafs forward Pontus Holmberg left Monday's game against the Tampa Bay Lightning and coach Craig Berube has given an update on his status.
