Toronto Maple Leafs forward Auston Matthews has no goals and one assist in his past seven games after scoring 10 points (six goals, four assists) in his first six games in the NHL. "Sometimes the puck honestly just doesn't go your way and you get in these little slumps," Matthews told SportsNet on Thursday. "But I think the good thing is that we are creating these opportunities, and we're getting these point-blank chances. We've just got to keep shooting, keep going, and some of these things are going to start to fall." The Maple Leafs are coming off a 7-0 loss against the Los Angeles Kings on Tuesday. The defeat ended a three-game Toronto winning streak. Forward Nikita Soshnikov, who experienced groin tightness during practice Wednesday, will play Friday at right wing on the Maple Leafs fourth line alongside left wing Matt Martin and center Ben Smith. Goaltender Frederik Andersen will start. He's 4-0-0 with a 2.64 goals-against average and .919 save percentage in four career starts against the Flyers.
