    • Not expected to play in Game 5
      Matthews (illness) is not expected to play in Game 5 versus the Bruins on Tuesday, Emily Kaplan of ESPN reports.

      Advice: Matthews had limited participation in Tuesday's morning skate after making an early exit from Game 4. The Maple Leafs will be forced to face elimination without the league's top goal scorer in 2023-24. Look for Max Domi and John Tavares to see larger roles due to Matthews being unavailable.

    • Awaiting medical clearance
      Matthews (illness) will be a game-time decision for Game 5 against the Bruins on Tuesday. Coach Sheldon Keefe told reporters, "We'll see how the rest of the day goes," per David Alter of The Hockey News.

      Advice: Matthews didn't stay on the ice long during the team's game-day skate, raising doubts regarding his availability. Still, if the 26-year-old California native can get the all-clear from the team doctors, he should immediately reclaim both his top-line and No. 1 power-play roles. By Matthews' standards, he has struggled offensively of late with just one goal in his last six outings. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 8:59 am
       
    • Traveling with team
      Matthews (illness) will join the Maple Leafs when they travel to Boston for Game 5 on Tuesday but remains questionable after head coach Sheldon Keefe told reporters, "We're hopeful he's available and feeling good and back to himself," per ESPN's Kristen Shilton.

      Advice: Matthews has scored just one goal in his last six contests despite having racked up 34 shots on net and adding two assists over that stretch. Without the world-class center at practice Tuesday, Toronto shifted Max Domi to center in addition to slotting him into Matthews' spot on the No. 1 power-play unit. If Matthews can get even close to 100 percent, he should reclaim both those roles heading into Tuesday's must-win game for Toronto. Rotowire.com Monday, 9:36 am
       
    • Not practicing Monday
      Matthews (illness), who was pulled from Game 4 against the Bruins on Saturday, was not in attendance for Monday's practice session, Joshua Kloke of The Athletic reports.

      Advice: Matthews has produced points in just one of his last six appearances, though he racked up one goal and two helpers in that contest. The 26-year-old center's absence shouldn't come as a significant surprise considering he is trying to recover from a seemingly long-term illness that he tried to push through in Game 4. Without Matthews in the lineup, John Tavares could be given the first-line center role while Max Domi would likely move up to the No. 1 power-play unit. At this point, Matthews should be considered questionable ahead of Game 5 on Tuesday. Rotowire.com Monday, 8:05 am
       
    • Distributes three helpers in Game 4
      Miller logged three assists, two hits and a plus-2 rating in Sunday's 4-3 overtime win over the Predators in Game 4.

      Advice: Miller had a hand in all three of Brock Boeser's goals during regulation. With a goal, five assists, 10 shots on net, 11 hits and a plus-3 rating over four playoff outings, Miller continues to provide well-rounded production. The 31-year-old should remain in a top-six role as the Canucks look to close out this first-round series in Tuesday's Game 5. Rotowire.com Sunday, 7:07 pm
       
    • Supplies power-play assist
      Coyle logged a power-play assist, two shots on goal, three hits and three blocked shots in Saturday's 3-1 win over the Maple Leafs in Game 4.

      Advice: Coyle has a helper in back-to-back contests following a four-game point drought. Both of those assists have been on the power play. Coyle has added six shots on net, 15 hits, six blocked shots and four PIM through four playoff outings while continuing to see top-six usage. Rotowire.com Saturday, 8:26 pm
       
    • Pulled from game due to illness
      Matthews was pulled from Saturday's Game 4 due to the illness he's been dealing with in recent days, Joshua Kloke of The Athletic reports.

      Advice: Matthews didn't play in the third period, and head coach Sheldon Keefe explained that the Maple Leafs' doctors pulled the world-class center from the contest. The 26-year-old Matthews will have an extra day to recover before Tuesday's must-win Game 5 in Boston. Rotowire.com Saturday, 8:16 pm
       
    • Exits Game 4
      Matthews (undisclosed) won't return to Saturday's Game 4 versus the Bruins.

      Advice: Matthews reportedly was ill during Game 3 on Wednesday, per Mark Masters of TSN, but it's unclear if his exit from Game 4 is related. Matthews should be considered day-to-day ahead of Tuesday's Game 5, pending an update from the Maple Leafs. Rotowire.com Saturday, 7:24 pm
       
    • Two PP points in Game 3 win
      Miller produced a goal and an assist, both on the power play, during Friday's 2-1 win over the Predators in Game 3.

      Advice: The 31-year-old center opened the scoring midway through the first period by snapping a shot past Juuse Saros from above the faceoff circle, and Miller then helped set up Brock Boeser for the winner early in the second frame. Miller has a goal and three points through three postseason games, and he'll try to keep rolling in Game 4 on Sunday as the Canucks try to take a 3-1 series lead. Rotowire.com Saturday, 8:13 am
