With two straight losses for Toronto and Tampa Bay currently surging (8-1-1 L10), the Leafs are much closer to a wildcard spot than home-ice advantage right now, and the runway to make up ground is getting shorter and shorter.
It would seem to indicate they're viewing Matthews as likely to suit up in his spot between Domi and Tyler Bertuzzi, but it remains to be seen how Matthews is feeling at game time.
