Toronto Maple Leafs captain Auston Matthews underwent surgery on a lateral knee ligament, which was injured last week by Czech defenseman Radko Gudas of Anaheim during an NHL game. The American hockey player, who leads the team into the playoffs, will now have to undergo lengthy rehabilitation lasting approximately twelve weeks. The injury means Matthews will not play for the rest of this season. idnes.cz ↗ irozhlas.cz ↗
The incident occurred during a clash between Toronto and Anaheim, when Gudas made a play that resulted in a serious injury to the rival team's captain. The Czech defenseman from the Ducks will return to play next week after serving his disciplinary suspension. Gudas is known for his aggressive playing style, and this incident adds another chapter to his controversial behavior on the ice. isport.cz ↗
The loss of Matthews is a significant blow for Toronto in the fight for the playoffs, where he has been a key player in the offensive lineup. The American forward is among the NHL's stars, and his absence will be something the club must address, especially in the final phase of the season. The team will therefore have to rely on its other players and the experience gained in past seasons to advance to the playoffs without their leading player. denik.cz ↗
