Toronto Maple Leafs fans are eagerly awaiting the return of star center Auston Matthews, who participated in a full team practice for the first time since his upper body injury. While Matthews feels good, he may sit out the upcoming game against the Florida Panthers to ensure he is fully prepared.

Head coach Craig Berube noted that Matthews looked strong in practice, but the lack of game time raises concerns. The Maple Leafs have thrived in his absence, climbing to the top of the Atlantic Division.
