Maple Leafs captain Auston Matthews underwent successful MCL surgery in New York on Thursday, the team announced.
Matthews, who had already been ruled out for the season, now has an expected recovery time of 12 weeks and is likely to be fully healthy for training camp.
He was injured one week earlier from a knee-to-knee hit delivered by Anaheim Ducks captain Radko Gudas. The play earned Gudas a five-game suspension.
