Matthews healthy after confirming he tested positive for COVID-19, reports kristen_shilton. MORE:
VIDEO SIGN OUTtold reporters on Monday that he tested positive for the COVID-19 virus last month, but was feeling fully healthy ahead of the Maple Leafs’ opening their return to play training camp on Monday.
The 22-year-old didn't have specifics on how he came in contact with the virus, but recognizes how widely the reactions to it can vary. “[The virus] didn’t really hinder my training, I was able to do stuff at home,” Matthews said. “Obviously, wasn't able to leave or anything. I think that's really the only thing that kind of took a hit for me. I was skating beforehand and having to take two and a half, three weeks off obviously kind of catches up to you.”
That team’s first day of training camp activities Monday included one hard practice and two spirited scrimmages, after which Matthews said that “conditioning wise, [it was] not great.” Yet that’s a hurdle Keefe suspects Matthews will have no trouble overcoming.
