There was no shortage of physicality or drama during the first game of the matchup, and Leafs captain Auston Matthews added to both during and after the game. Following a heated exchange in front of the Toronto bench, first described by The Fourth Period's David Pagnotta, Matthews grabbed Ridly Greig’s stick and broke it in half.

This will put a smile on the faces of Toronto Maple Leafs fans. Auston Matthews smashed Ridly Greig's stick in half.
