Maple Leafs’ Matthews out for Jets game with injury

<p>TORONTO &mdash; Toronto Maple Leafs star center Auston Matthews will miss Thursday night’s game against the visiting Winnipeg Jets with an injury and is listed day to day.</p>
<p>When asked if it was a recurrence of a wrist injury from earlier in the season, Leafs coach Sheldon Keefe said: “It’s similar, but not the same.” </p>

<p>Matthews stepped on the ice for the morning skate, but left before the session began.</p>
<p>Matthews leads the NHL with 32 goals and is tied for fourth in league scoring with 53 points.</p>
<p>The North Division-leading Leafs are five points ahead of the second-place Jets.</p>
<p>Toronto has lost two in a row.</p>
