Auston Matthews has played a pronounced role in the Toronto Maple Leafs' sizzling start to the season, but coach Mike Babcock's charges will be without the star forward on Monday when they host the Calgary Flames at Scotiabank Arena. The 21-year-old Matthews, who leads the Maple Leafs in goals (10) and points (16), has been ruled out for the tilt after sustaining a left shoulder injury in Saturday's 3-2 victory over Winnipeg.

Mikael Granlund and the Minnesota Wild hope their respective success travels well as they begin a pronounced seven-game road trip versus the Vancouver Canucks on Monday. Granlund answered a slow start with five goals and four assists during his seven-game point streak, with his goal total leading the team while his point total (nine) is two shy of fellow forward Zach Parise for top honors.
