— Auston Matthews came through his first physical workout unscathed, but the same can’t be said of the Maple Leafs’ development camp staffers. I had a good season in Penticton. “I kind of hammered him hard,” Matthews admitted, though Ellis recovered and all had a good laugh about the mishap. Of course, Matthews won’t be facing nice guys with no padding in the NHL in a few months. Marchment, son of former Leafs defenceman Bryan, claimed he apologized immediately and always maintained it was an accident.
