It's Official, Matthews Is Back Tonight!!

"It was speculation and now it's official. Toronto Maple Leafs' head coach Mike Babcock confirmed with reporters on Wednesday that forward Auston Matthews will return to the lineup against the San Jose Sharks. Babcock did leave some mystery though. The Leafs head coach said he hasn't decided on his lineup and where Matthews will slot into the forward group, the most likely scenario is Matthews skating with Patrick Marleau on his left and Kasperi Kapanen on his right. We'll see tonight.

Mike Babcock says Auston Matthews will return to #Leafs lineup tonight vs. Sharks. Has missed team's last 14 games with a shoulder injury. TOR has gone 9-5-0 without him. Babcock said he hasn't decided on linemates, but Frederik Gauthier is coming out.
