[David Alter] “In my mind I’m back and excited to play tomorrow”. Auston Matthews will play tomorrow.

  1. Pretty sure Reaves still holds a roster spot even though he’s suspended so they need to make a roster move to activate Auston and another for Knies if he’s playing also. (McMann to IR is probably the obvious first move)

  2. First game with Matthews back in the lineup.

    They’ll probably get their teeth kicked in tomorrow and then go on another absolute tear.

  3. The thing is, if Matthews skips one more game, then we could retroactively put him on LTIR, we would save his cap space for the weeks he missed. And, he would be eligible to play the game after Tampa, as LTIR is a minimum of 10 games and 24 days, and Tampa would be game 10, and he has already hit 24 days

  4. That’s gonna be massive for the Leafs but they’ll need to learn to adjust their game with him back in the line up
