The Toronto Maple Leafs host the Winnipeg Jets for the second game in a row and hope to bounce back from Tuesday's 4-3 loss. Despite Auston Matthews struggling with a wrist injury and power in his shot, Matthews scored two goals on Tuesday night. Head coach Sheldon Keefe confirmed that Matthews will play tonight. Keefe also revealed that a forward will make his season debut tonight as Kenny Agostino will get into the lineup for the first time. Agostino played 53 games for the Marlies last season but never got in any action with the Leafs and has seven points in eight games this season with the Marlies before jumping to the Leafs' taxi squad. Travis Boyd will come out of the lineup and join Nic Petan, Mikko Lehtonen and Alexander Barabanov in the press box. Here's a look at tonight's projected lineup:Joe Thornton -- Auston Matthews -- Mitchell Marner Alexander Kerfoot -- John Tavares -- William Nylander Zach Hyman -- Pierre Engvall -- Ilya Mikheyev Jimmy Vesey -- Kenny Agostino -- Jason SpezzaMorgan Rielly -- TJ Brodie Jake Muzzin -- Justin Holl Travis Dermott -- Zach Bogosian
