Auston Matthews is planning to bring emotion into Monday’s game as the Leafs look to snap a three-game skid (0-2-1) against the San Jose Sharks .

“We just want to make sure that we come out and we’re skating, we’re moving, we’re playing physical and doing the right things,” the Leafs captain said. “Playing with better structure, I think, can help minimize some of the mistakes that we’ve had. But, for the most part, it’s just got to be some emotion and making sure that we come out ready to play and go from there.”
