After playing without Auston Matthews for over a month, the Toronto Maple Leafs will have their superstar centre available on Wednesday night.

Matthews roared out of the gate with 10 goals and six assists in his first 11 games, before a hit from Jacob Trouba of the Winnipeg Jets put him on the shelf on October 28.

Although the 21-year-old’s absence was felt by the Maple Leafs, they went 9-5-0 in the time he was out.
