Matheson is dealing with a week-to-week upper-body injury.
This news will rule Matheson out for at least this weekend's back-to-back games against the Rangers and Blue Jackets. The 27-year-old blueliner has 21 points while averaging 18:15 of ice time through 50 games this season. Mark Friedman should see some playing time as a result of Matheson's injury.
