Fans and media waited impatiently for the practice to come to an end to hear about what the issue was.

Nazem Kadri was the first to provide an update on his teammate's status.

It was later revealed that Matthews is dealing with "soreness" and his status for tonight is up in the air.

We'll keep you posted on Matthews' status for tonight. With the Leafs 1-5 in their last 6, this is definitely unwelcome news.
