Auston Matthews is back. The Toronto Maple Leafs captain returns to action Saturday night when they take on the Boston Bruins. Matthews missed the last six games due to a re-aggravation of a previous upper-body injury. The original injury sidelined him for nine games, combining for a total of 15 games on the shelf.

The Leafs' superstar shared how he's felt throughout the recovery process in his media availability after the morning skate.

Maple Leafs writer Nick Barden shared on X what Matthews had to say:

"I mean, the last couple of skates, I've felt good. So I've just been having positive progress throughout those and feeling confident day by day."
