"The Toronto Maple Leafs are set to get a huge boost on Wednesday night as they take on the Blue Jackets in Columbus. Mark Masters is reporting that captain Auston Matthews, Nic Roy, and Matthew Knies will all be back in the lineup. Matthews has been out since November 11 after taking a cheap shot from Boston Bruins defenseman Nikita Zadorov. Meanwhile, Knies had been out since November 15 after dealing with a lower-body issue for a while. Per Masters, Knies feels great."
"Matthew Knies: "I feel great. I feel a lot better. I'm just excited to get back in the lineup. It sucks watching. You just want to be out there to help the guys so happy to do that today"Says he had been dealing with lower-body issue for "probably more than a month"@TSN_Sports- Mark Masters (@markhmasters) November 26, 2025 Roy has also been out of the lineup for the last couple of weeks. But his return is crucial as the Maple Leafs' center depth has taken a decimating hit."
Auston Matthews, Nicolas Roy, and Matthew Knies are slated to return to the Toronto Maple Leafs lineup for Wednesday's game in Columbus. Matthews has been sidelined since November 11 after taking a cheap shot from Boston Bruins defenseman Nikita Zadorov. Knies missed time since November 15 with a lower-body issue and reports that he feels great and is eager to play after watching from the sidelines. Roy has been out for the last couple of weeks, and his return addresses a depleted center corps. The Leafs sit last in the Atlantic Division and hope the returns help end a two-game losing streak.
