The wait continues for Auston Matthews.
The Toronto Maple Leafs star will remain sidelined with an injury on Wednesday against the Vegas Golden Knights, coach Craig Berube told reporters on Monday.
Matthews has missed the team's last six games.
Berube said Matthews has not resumed skating and just needs more time to get healthy.
"I think it's a little bit of a holding pattern, but he's not getting worse, so that's a good thing," Berube said. "It just takes time. It's just taking time, it's taking long but it is what it is. He's doing what he needs to do to get back in the lineup and get healthy and our team needs to just push on without him right now."
The Leafs have a light schedule this week and do not play again until Sunday against Utah.
Matthews has five goals and six assists in 13 games this season.
