TORONTO -- Auston Matthews scored for the fourth straight game and had an assist for the Toronto Maple Leafs in a 5-3 win against the Tampa Bay Lightning at Scotiabank Arena on Monday. The goal was Matthews’ eighth in nine games since his return after missing the previous six because of an upper-body injury.

Matthew Knies had two goals and an assist as the Toronto Maple Leafs held on late to down the Tampa Bay Lightning 5-3 on Monday night.

Toronto Maple Leafs forward Pontus Holmberg left Monday's game against the Tampa Bay Lightning and coach Craig Berube has given an update on his status.

Pacioretty has five goals and seven assists in 32 games this season. He's games away from unlocking the final games-played bonus in his one-year deal.

The Toronto Maple Leafs will play Monday night's game against the Tampa Bay Lightning without forward Max Pacioretty. Pacioretty will be absent due to an upper-body injury that he sustained after taking a shot to the side of the head in Saturday's 7-3 comeback win against the Montreal Canadiens.

The Toronto Maple Leafs will have to play on without the services of veteran forward Max Pacioretty for the time being. On Monday morning, the team officially announced that Pacioretty would not participate in the team’s morning skate due to injury.
