Leafs' Matthews in lineup vs. Golden Knights
Dan Hamilton / USA TODAY Sports
After being listed as a game-time decision earlier in the day due to soreness, Auston Matthews will indeed suit up Monday for the Maple Leafs against the Vegas Golden Knights.
The star forward has 10 goals and eight assists in 15 games this season, to go along with an NHL-best plus-14 rating.
The Leafs have sputtered of late, winning just one of their last six games, so having their leading scorer in the lineup is no doubt an integral part of trying to snap out of their skid.
