Matheson logged an assist, three blocks and one hit in Thursday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Islanders.
Matheson had two assists, including one on the power play, three shots on net, three blocks and one hit in Saturday's 4-2 loss to the Maple Leafs.
Has all the skills needed to be a solid two-way defenseman but has yet to develop the consistency needed to thrive at the NHL level. Is very mobile and aggressive with good offensive abilities. However, he drives coaches crazy at times by getting caught out of position. Needs to improve his defensive-zone coverage to make the most of his attacking skills. Can play big minutes in any situation, so he does have value.
Long Range Potential: Inconsistent but toolsy and talented defenseman.
