Auston Matthews is taking part in Leafs practice for the first time since injuring his left shoulder on October 27th.

Matthews was injured in the second period of a game against the Winnipeg Jets when he was hit by defenceman Jacob Trouba.  Surgery was not required.

The Maple Leafs announced that the 21-year-old would miss a minimum of four weeks, however there has been no update as to when he will return to game action.

Matthews has appeared in 11 games this season and scored 10 goals with six assists and a minus-1 rating.

The first overall pick of the 2016 NHL Entry Draft has posted 40 and 34 goal seasons in his first two years in the league
