"The Toronto Maple Leafs finally have some good news on the injury front, as forward Scott Laughton returns to the lineup after missing six games with an upper-body injury sustained against the Boston Bruins on November 8. It's a much-needed boost for a lineup still juggling key absences and looking to build momentum after a gutsy 3-2 win over the St. Louis Blues on Tuesday night."
"With Laughton returning, the Leafs' lines look very different from what they did even a week ago. Toronto will once again be without Auston Matthews and Matthew Knies, both of whom remain sidelined. Knies was a late scratch against St. Louis, and Matthews continues to recover from his minor injury. The Leafs found a way to win without them, and without starting goaltender Anthony Stolarz, but relying on that formula for long isn't ideal."
Scott Laughton returns to the Toronto Maple Leafs lineup after missing six games with an upper-body injury sustained Nov. 8 against the Boston Bruins. His return provides versatility in the bottom six, penalty-killing ability, and forechecking pressure. Laughton skated with Auston Matthews during practice and was cleared to play against the Columbus Blue Jackets. The Leafs remain without Auston Matthews, Matthew Knies, and starting goaltender Anthony Stolarz. Coach Craig Berube shifted William Nylander to left wing and elevated Calle Järnkrok to the top unit’s right side to reshuffle lines. The team seeks to build momentum after a 3-2 win over St. Louis.
