TORONTO -- To help Auston Matthews through the first slump of his rookie season, Toronto coach Mike Babcock has turned to Sidney Crosby and Henrik Zetterberg.Matthews piled up six goals and 10 points in his first six games, including a historic four-goal outing in his NHL debut. The 19-year-old Matthews was still tied for second Tuesday among all rookies in scoring (12 points), four points behind Patrik Laine.But Matthews has no goals and two assists in the past nine games and Babcock is using video of Crosby and Zetterberg to do some tweaking with his young star.In one-on-one sessions, Babcock showed Matthews how Zetterberg, the long-time Red Wings star, gets the puck back just by standing in the right places defensively. He showed Matthews how when Crosby got the puck, he lured the defense out of position and then didnt hesitate to make a play.Babcock has seen subtle adjustments from Matthews over the past couple weeks, particularly in the faceoff circle. The Arizona native won 43 percent of the draws in the opening five games, 53 percent in the following five and 61 percent in the last five.What hes telling you already is he likes having the puck, Babcock said. Hes sick and tired of chasing it already. So then the next thing hes going to figure out if he stops in the right places on defense and puts his stick in the right place, the offensive players are going to keep giving it back to him and then his skill-set is going to come out.But the hardest part for a kid when you come in the National Hockey League is you never get the puck.Matthews said he believes hes grown stronger defensively in recent weeks. He also leads Toronto with 58 shots, though he last scored Oct. 25 against Tampa, a string of nine games.In our situation we need him to be a dominant, dominant center for us, Babcock said. We think hes going to be by Christmas time. We think hes a very good player already. But we think he can be lights out both with and without the puck.

LAS VEGAS -- As he watched his teams future compete for a summer league title, new Minnesota Timberwolves coach Tom Thibodeau was still waiting for an answer as to whether one of the last links to the franchises past will still be a part of the team next season.We just have to give him time, Thibodeau told ESPN Monday night when asked about the future of Wolves star Kevin Garnett.With the recent retirements of future Hall of Famers Kobe Bryant and Tim Duncan, questions about Garnetts future were reignited by comments made by Wolves owner Glen Taylor last week.I just asked him, Kevin, what are you going to do? His answer was, Id really like to play next year cuz Id like to go out knowing we got into the playoffs, Taylor told NBA.com, regarding a conversation he had with Garnett last month. Then he said, I dont know if I can.I asked him, What does that mean? And he said, I dont know.So I asked the question, but I didnt get an answer that helped me. Yes, theoretically, hed like to play. Buut he has some doubts of his knees holding up.dddddddddddd I believe he told me exactly the truth.Wolves second-year center?Karl-Anthony Towns?said hes stayed in touch with Garnett throughout the offseason and believes that he does want to continue playing but hasnt weighed everything out yet.I talk to him a lot, Towns told ESPN.com. I dont know [what hes going to do]. Hes earned that respect to choose whenever he chooses to place his shoes up. Hes like a brother to me. If he laces them up again, well be great. If he closes them up and doesnt wear them again, he deserves [to make that choice].Were all waiting anxiously. Only God and KG know what they want to do.Garnett, who turned 40 in May, is under contract for one more season, during which hes slated to earn $8 million. He started 38 games last season but averaged only 14.6 minutes and 3.2 points per game.
