Matthews (undisclosed) took part in pregame warmups and will likely return to the lineup Monday, Kristen Shilton of TSN.ca reports.
Matthews has been bothered by soreness over the last couple days, but despite being absent for most of the morning skate,,he'll still appear in the contest. Despite Toronto dropping five of its last six games, it's hard to blame the 22-year-old for its struggles -- he's racked up six points and gone plus-4 during that span. Matthews should assume his role on the first line.
