TORONTO, Ontario (AP) — Maple Leafs General manager Brad Treliving said following Tuesday’s practice that Auston Matthews, out day-to-day since Nov. 5 with an undisclosed upper-body injury, is in Germany to see a doctor the star center has worked with in the past. The team is hoping the trip provides some answers — and gets their best player back on the ice. Matthews has missed six games and will sit out a seventh Wednesday when Toronto hosts the Vegas Golden Knights.
