EDMONTON — Mitch Marner had a goal and an assist, Jack Campbell made 30 saves for his third career shutout, and the Toronto Maple Leafs defeated the Edmonton Oilers 4-0 on Saturday in the opener of a three-game set. William Nylander, Jason Spezza and Zach Hyman also scored for Toronto (16-4-2), which was without NHL goal leader Auston Matthews because of a wrist injury.

No Matthews, no problem. With their star centre out, there was concern about how the Leafs would match up against Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl, and they apparently matched up well still, as they shut out the Oilers in a 4-0 win, thanks to a Jack Campbell 30 save shutout and two point performances from Mitch Marner and John Tavares. The first period was scary to start, as it seemed like every time Connor McDavid was on the ice, he had a chance to score, but Jack Campbell and the team in fro

Toronto Maple Leafs star Auston Matthews missed Saturday’s game against the Edmonton Oilers with a wrist injury, but the issue is not expected to keep him out of action long-term. “This does not seem to be a situation that’s any cause for real alarm,” Sportsnet’s Chris Johnston reported during Saturday’s Headlines segment on Hockey Night in Canada. “I think the decision to keep him out of [Saturday’s game] is really situational. If this isn’t a first-place team, if this isn’

For the second time this season, the Leafs will be without Auston Matthews against Connor McDavid and the Edmonton Oilers as both teams square off in this three game series.

It isn’t all bad news on the injury front for the Leafs, as they will see Joe Thornton and Jake Muzzin return after missing the last two games, and Jack Campbell will make his fi
