Toronto Maple Leafs
Auston Matthews, Matthew Knies and Nicolas Roy each skated Monday and could return against the Columbus Blue Jackets on Wednesday (7 p.m. ET; FDSNOH, SNP, SNO, SNE, SN360). Matthews, the Maple Leafs captain, has missed their past five games because of a lower-body injury. Knies (lower body) and Roy (upper body) have missed the past three. … “I’d say (they’re) close,” Toronto coach Craig Berube said. “So, I’ll probably know (Tuesday) if they’re available for Wednesday.” … Berube said defenseman Jake McCabe, who left a 5-2 loss at the Montreal Canadiens on Saturday with an upper-body injury, should be able to play Wednesday.
