Matthews missed Sunday's game against the New York Islanders with an undisclosed injury.
"It's just not worth him having to play through anything, as minor as it might've been," head coach Sheldon Keefe said Sunday of Matthews. "We got to be smart with those kind of things. If it was a playoff game, he's probably playing."
Muzzin has missed Toronto's previous two games and has played in just four contests since late February. Muzzin will not play Tuesday night but he will accompany the Leafs on their coming three-game road trip beginning Thursday in Tampa.
