Thats a tendency of Matheson that Ive noticed a lot. If you get by him he doesnt do much to try to at least make it hard to get a good shot off l. Matheson is no doubt in a role he is not suited for and it's not his fault. Ideally he's a #3 who is paired with a shutdown stay at home D who can cover for him defensively.
It's not just a "role he is not suited for", Matheson is avoiding contact. Opposite players are always standing between him and Monty and he just present his ass to them. No stick tying, rarely try to clear them out. You rarely see him poke pucks away or keep close to a player to get the puck.
