Matthews recorded a power-play helper and four blocked shots in Thursday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Blue Jackets in Game 3.
Matthews' assist came on a William Nylander goal in the second period. The 22-year-old Matthews has three points, 11 shots and an even plus-minus rating in the series so far. He'll be counted on to lead the offense in Friday's must-win Game 4.
