Recently NHL insider Chris Johnston provided a major update on Auston Matthews and when he is expected to make his potential return to the Toronto Maple Leafs lineup.

The Toronto Maple Leafs have been without Auston Matthews for several games now after he suffered an upper-body injury that had reportedly been bothering him throughout the season.

Since Auston Matthews has been out the Toronto Maple Leafs have oddly enough improved their offensive game and particularly on the power play.

Despite the Maple Leafs improvement without Auston Matthews fans are anxiously awaiting his return to the lineup.

During a recent appearance on the OverDrive Show NHL insider Chris Johnston gave a promising update on Auston Matthews' injury and upcoming return.

Auston Matthews could return to action against the Edmonton Oilers

During the segment on OverDrive Chris Johnston was asked by the hosts when the Maple Leafs should expect Auston Matthews to return.

While Chris Johnston admitted the nature of Auston Matthews' injury makes things tricky the game against the Edmonton Oilers on Saturday is likely the target to return.

This would mean Auston Matthews would return in a marquee game against the struggling Edmonton Oilers who recently welcomed back a superstar of their own in Connor McDavid.

If Auston Matthews does return against the Edmonton Oilers it will be interesting to see how the team handles the lines.

With him out the Maple Leafs seem to play a more well-balanced offensive game and one has to wonder if this will impact Craig Berube's decision-making.

As more information is provided on Auston Matthews injury status and return to the lineup we will pass along the latest information.
