"Even though it is still early in the season, the Toronto Maple Leafs fanbase was shocked that their team entered Tuesday tied for last place in the Atlantic Division. Before their game against the St. Louis Blues, the Maple Leafs carried a five-game losing streak. The heat was on head coach Craig Berube, who received a vote of confidence from general manager Brad Treliving."
"Seeing the team captain and their best player return to the ice for practice is promising for all Leafs fans. But then, Treliving provided an update on Matthews during his press conference. When asked about Matthews' status as he recovers from the injury, Treliving said that he is "coming along" and should be considered day-to-day moving forward. Treliving did rule out Matthews making his return for Thursday's game against the Columbus Blue Jackets, thus leaving the door open for Saturday's contest against the Montreal Canadiens."
The Toronto Maple Leafs entered Tuesday tied for last in the Atlantic Division and carried a five-game losing streak before facing the St. Louis Blues. The Leafs ended the skid with a 3-2 overtime victory over the Blues, led by William Nylander. Team captain Auston Matthews skated in practice for the first time since sustaining a lower-body injury on Nov. 11 after a hit by Nikita Zadorov. General manager Brad Treliving said Matthews is "coming along" and should be considered day-to-day, ruling him out for Thursday but leaving Saturday against Montreal possible.
