Auston Matthews made a significant impact in his return from injury, scoring his first goal as the Toronto Maple Leafs triumphed over the Chicago Blackhawks 4-1. The Leafs showcased strong offensive play with contributions from John Tavares, Fraser Minten, and Matthew Knies, while Anthony Stolarz made 27 saves in goal.
Despite Lukas Reichel's effort for Chicago, the team suffered its third consecutive loss. Matthews' return is a positive sign for Toronto, which is performing well in November with a strong points percentage and solid defensive play.
