Maple Leafs' Matthews, Knies to return from injury vs. Blue Jackets
Toronto reinserts three recovered forwards aiming to stop a 1-5-2 slump without Matthews, who has 14 points in 17 games, to boost their offense on the road.
- On Wednesday, Auston Matthews, Matthew Knies and Nicolas Roy will be in Toronto Maple Leafs' lineup at Nationwide Arena against the Columbus Blue Jackets, announced at the morning skate.
- To halt a November slide, the Toronto Maple Leafs are reinserting injured forwards as Auston Matthews has been sidelined since Nov. 11, Matthew Knies last played Nov. 15, and Nicolas Roy missed three games.
- Stat lines show why their returns matter, with Matthew Knies recording five goals and four assists before his absence, and Auston Matthews being limited to 67 games in 2024-25.
- Projected roster moves will remove Dakota Joshua, Matias Maccelli and Sammy Blais, as Toronto Maple Leafs have not exceeded three goals in a game since Matthews was hurt.
- Amid confusing signals earlier in the week, Columbus is seeking to beat Toronto three times this season as Matthews' 'mystery' injury and Roy's return impact the matchup.
