Keefe confirms Matthews will play in Leafs' season-finale
Toronto Maple Leafs head coach Sheldon Keefe confirmed that star forward Auston Matthews will play in Wednesday's season-finale, giving him one last shot at hitting 70 goals for the season.
Jets head coach Rick Bowness says his team's 'confidence level should be very high' heading into the playoffs and that Winnipeg is much more prepared for the postseason this season compared to last year.
Auston Matthews has one more chance to reach a milestone not touched in nearly three decades. The Maple Leafs sniper was unable to score in Tuesday night's 5-2 loss to the Florida Panthers, leaving him stuck on 69 goals for the season.
Cedric Mullins hit a two-run homer in the bottom of the ninth inning to give the Baltimore Orioles a 4-2 victory over Minnesota on Wednesday and a three-game sweep of the Twins.
Blake Perkins hit a single in the eighth inning to crack a scoreless game and lead the Milwaukee Brewers to a 1-0 win over the San Diego Padres on Wednesday.
