Radko Gudas
TORONTO (AP) --- Toronto Maple Leafs captain Auston Matthews left Thursday
night against Anaheim after a knee-on-knee hit from Ducks defenseman Radko
Gudas.
Trying to make a move around Gudas in the slot in the second period of
Toronto's 6-4 victory, Matthews stook a direct blow to his left leg and crashed
to the ice. The U.S. Olympic captain stayed down before being helped to the
locker room.
Gudas, the bruising Czech defender whose hit ended Canadian captain Sidney
Crosby's Olympics in the quarterfinals, was assessed a major penalty and game
misconduct.
Matthews snapped a 12-game goal drought earlier in the period on a power play.
The center has 27 goals and 26 assists in 60 games this season.
