This just in from Toronto Maple Leafs head coach Sheldon Keefe by way of Sportsnet NHL insider Chris Johnston, injured Leafs Auston Matthews and Frederik Andersen will return to the team's lineup this evening when they take on the Edmonton Oilers.
Check it out:
That has to come as welcome relief to Leafs fans, but here's the thing... the Leafs have been just fine without Matthews and Andersen. With both their leading scorer and their top goaltender in the lineup, the Leafs have still put up back to back shutouts in their three game series against the Oilers. Injecting Matthews and Andersen into the lineup should give Oilers fans a bit more cause for concern however.
