BREAKING Matthews And Zaitsev Will Both Play Tonight.

"Toronto Maple Leafs head coach Mike Babcock just announced some great news for Leafs' fans. The head coach confirmed that both Auston Matthews and Nikita Zaitsev will return to the lineup tonight against the Nashville Predators. Josh Leivo is confirmed to come out of the lineup. The Leafs held an optional skate today, so Leafs fans were left wondering if Matthews would officially get in or not. The All-Star forward had declared himself good to go on Wednesday. Lineups should be announced a little later on.
