Auston Matthews returns to the Leaf lineup


The Toronto Maple Leafs have a healthy Auston Matthews for Wednesday's game against the Chicago Blackhawks.

Matthews is back after missing a handful of contests with a sprained knee, Maple Leafs head coach Sheldon Keefe confirmed, according to TSN's Mark Masters. The superstar center sustained the injury on Jan. 25.

The Leafs went 2-3-0 in his absence, splitting a home-and-home back-to-back with the Columbus Blue Jackets on Friday and Saturday after losing 5-2 to the Boston Bruins, beating the Washington Capitals 5-1, and absorbing a 6-2 defeat to the Ottawa Senators.
