Olympics
Matthews Set to Suit Up vs Lightning
Auston Matthews races from Team USA's gold medal celebrations in D.C. straight to Tampa Bay, where the Maple Leafs desperately need their captain to spark a playoff push. Coach Craig Berube confirms Matthews is expected in the lineup against the Lightning on Wednesday night, but the post-Olympic travel grind leaves just enough uncertainty to keep Toronto's front office on edge. With the Leafs six points out and 25 games left, every shift from their 48-point star counts in this wild-card fight.
