Auston Matthews appears poised to return to the Maple Leafs lineup in Game 7 after all, according to league sources.
Matthews arrived at TD Garden on the first players’ bus early on Saturday evening ahead of Game 7. He missed Games 5 and 6 with an undisclosed injury and appeared unlikely to play against the Bruins on Saturday morning.
While coach Sheldon Keefe said that Matthews is “progressing,” he made it sound like the Leafs would play a third straight potential elimination game without their best player.
“As of right now, we’re proceeding as we’ve been,” Keefe said.
