Auston Matthews Could Be Ready For Action On Wednesday
1 min agoToronto Maple Leafs center Auston Matthews (upper body) might return to the lineup on Wednesday against Florida. After missing eight games with an upper-body injury, Matthews came through his first full practice on Tuesday. "I felt pretty good, so we will just take it step by step," the star forward said following practice. "I don't know, we'll see. I'll get with the training staff and chat some more. The individual skates are much different than a team practice, so this being the first actual team practice I skated in, I felt really good." Matthews worked on a line with Pontus Holmberg and William Nylander. He would make a timely return to help a team affected by injuries. Max Domi (lower body) has been ruled out for at least two more games, with Matthew Knies (upper body), David Kampf (lower body), Max Pacioretty (lower body), and Calle Jarnkrok (groin) also on the shelf.
